| Â | Robertson, Leo Strauss on Early Modern Philosophy |
 | | It is perhaps ironic that Strauss follows Marx in locating the source of revolutionary humanism in the early modern period. | | | The exoteric face of these early modern texts hides an esoteric radicality: early modern texts seem to exhibit both a departure from the tradition and a conformity to it. | | | Since for Strauss modernity had at its beginning a fundamental reformulation of political philosophy, in order to grasp the nature of modernity, and thereby better to understand our contemporary crisis, we are required to return to the early modern political thinkers--those who initiated the project of modern political philosophy. |

| | Modern Philosophy, 4th edition, Forrest Baird and Walter Kaufmann (eds.) | | | Philosophy may be born in wonder, but it is kept alive by dissatisfaction, by the feeling that our predecessors and contemporaries have not got things straight, and that some better answer can be found to the questions which perplex us. | | | To understand a philosopher it is essential to find out what his questions were and why he was dissatisfied with existing answers to them. |

| | We will be addressing a number of recurring themes as we read and think about the early modern philosophers. | | | The problem of skepticism, of how we can know anything about the world outside our own minds (or perhaps even about our own minds themselves), is perhaps the central problem in much of early modern philosophy. | | | We will adopt more or less uncritically the traditional division of the early modern philosophers into rationalists and empiricists. |

| | There have been two very different life cycles for great modern artists: some have made their major contributions early in their careers, while others have produced their best work later in their lives. | | | These patterns have been associated with different artistic goals and working methods: artists who peak late are motivated by aesthetic considerations and work by trial and error, whereas artists who peak early are motivated by conceptual concerns and plan their work in advance. | | | This paper applies this analysis to the careers of the leading members from the two generations of painters who made New York the center of the art world in the 1950s and ‘60s. |
