Abstract

The present article aims to show how the Teutonic American political
philosopher Leo Strauss tries by means of a reflection on the historical phenomenon of
the tyranny, to develop a greater understanding of the advent of the totalitarianisms of the
twentieth century, what the philosopher came to call "tyranny of our times". Thus,
Strauss's effort here is to trace a kind of reading about, or an inquiry into, what are, so to
speak, the intellectual roots of totalitarian regimes and, above all, of Nazism.
