War of Rhetoric

AKINBOLA E. AKINWUMI--REVIEW OF RAYMOND WILLIAM BAKER: LOGOS SUMMER 2004: "Nicholas Xenos and the Rhetoric of the War on Leo Strauss

Dear Editor:

I thought I had read enough of the recent commentary on the thought and influence of Leo Strauss. The recent commentary in Logos by Nicholas Xenos seemed to be different, however, due to the fact that Xenos (unlike the rest of the bandwagon) seems to have read Strauss for himself rather than relying on secondary sources or simply quoting from other likeminded articles. In this respect, and this respect only, his original effort is to be commended."
