Leo Strauss, Machiavelli and the Nature of Modernity
Original language description
In the last few pages of Thoughts onMachiavelli, Leo Strauss gives an account ofmodernity as based on a deliberate confusionof philosophy with religion. It is unclear ifStrauss means that Machiavelli himself wasguilty of such a confusion or that he madepossible such a confusion on the part of otherpeople, but many have convincingly arguedfor the latter. I present a reading of onechapter of Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy(Book 1, Chapter 21) which argues thatMachiavelli indicates his awareness of thisdifference as natural and not merely political,such that if a secular society comes into beingthrough political means, it will necessarily beheld together by a secular equivalent totraditional religion.
