LOL, Strauss with a Pilgrim hat!
There's stuff there for the psychologists, but their preocuppation with texts would place the blame of ambilance directly with the procedure of the zetesis, a search for truth. This is a search which involves duplicity, a two-sidedness with possible subversions and derailment. But it is also free to orient against the a closure: the closure of that search obviates the motion of the argument and denies further criticism. Straussians present criticism as can be possible. Cartesians with their critical epistemology become the impatient rulers who fix their principle as unquestioned determinacy. Libertarians think everything called conservative are their offspring. They ought to be psychoanalyzed. But such a closure can only be done by collapsing the polarity that exists in a search where the object of that search remains distended from the seeker. It is no wonder that Plato understood love as a dance between two.
The elucidates Voegelin's criticism of Locke. Natural right on Locke's reckoning is subsumed by desire on the part of the seeker. Likewise Strauss's beef with Schmitt: the Constitution is based on something beyond itself.
No, Strauss was a philosopher, a lover oftruth. Not a politician, an Alcibiades who used truth to catch unwitting young disciples.
