Paul Waters writes: _____ "The West, however, doesn't exist." I don't agree, Kalev. What, then, is the West? Where is it? Spengler defined as Western ...
Sorry, that should have read, I don't agree Kalev. The West may be a vague set of values loosely grounded in classical Greece that is hard to define precisely,...

Dear Kalev If the West=nihilism then of course I agree with you. When Dan Foley talks about the "crisis of the West" do you think he means it in the sense you...

Dear George, There is yet another piece to this argument that I think is important here, on a Strauss reading list. Although Mr. Pehme and I have discussed...
Dear George ... Nice of you to say so. ... Yes, we have. ... Yes, I agree, and this hooks in with Ray's post quoting Benardete. The arguments fall into the...
Dear Kalev, I grab onto the fitting handle you offer to harp on my theme, Strauss' invitation to read Plato. ... [etc. and snipping] ... I recently had to read...
Hello Ray, I do not (yet) personally own "Encounters," so I thank you for the quote. Still more grist for the mill of Strauss' invitation to read Plato. "I had...
Dear Kalev, ... Transposing Aesop's "Johnny cry wolf story," the philosopher (who looks like a wolf) who stays long enough in the chicken coop, intoning,...

A lot of people take Spengler seriously, alas. As I said, the West does not exist. Kalev Pehme ... that. ... spend ... like ... it ... is ... something ... ...
... George, do I understand what you mean here? ... "formulaic" is a troubling word to use. However, you ought know what this is a knowingly recorded...
Hi Ray, ... [snipping] When Benardete then explains that he did not understand what ... I suspect so. ... After scanning my memory, I think you may well be...
Dear Paul, [snipping ] ... an incoherent mess of the whole work. ... The "yesterday point" is one way of opening the space where your own thinking gets its...
... [snipping] ... Parts? Really? -- Why do you say "parts"? In any case, I think you are bringing up a crucial point: Strauss' title for the book on the...
... --Whoever insisted on such a thing? Point this claim out to us. If you're referring to me, George, this is wrong. You don't strike me as someone who is...
Hi Dan, Tsk, tsk, no, of course not you. Karl Popper, for example. ... No need to get paranoid. I recall well what you said on the matter of leaving the city,...
Hi Dan, I was suggesting that "one" (you, I, Paul. whoever) imagine oneself talking with someone who reads Plato the way Popper does. No problem. No offense...
George, Having been away for a day or two, others have responded well to this. I would simply like to add that the argument in the action is different from the...
Hi Dan, ... There will be, of course, no assisting formulas for reading Strauss. Nevertheless, it would be silly to read what Strauss writes in C&M that ...
Dear List Members: In the Journal of the International Plato Society, number 5, there is an interesting article on the Sophist by Catherine Zuckert, perhaps on...
Howdy George, --Actually, this one was from Raymundo... ... From: "George Gregory" <2903-425@...> To: <strauss-reading@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday,...
