The City and Man
Leo Strauss
Leo Strauss hints at the problem in his introduction to the City and Man... but just hints. But doesn't the existence of these vast and hidden powers have deep relevance to the question of man and his polis? To our conceptions of justice and the common good? Very underexplored

Unforgiving Years
Victor Serge
I read his novel Unforgiving Years a few years back and was very struck by it—especially the section that follows a Comintern agent in France around who is starting to doubt the faith but is still undercover. The Berlin ‘45 scene with the American journalist also sticks with me https://t.co/3XO6UqLalo

@lionel_trolling You would find Michael Mazarr’s LEAP OF FAITH book on the lead up to the war useful, valuable, and worth a substance essay on. I would be especially interested in your take on his concluding chapter on moral culpability .
