Strauss on Maimonides’ Secretive Political Science

Abstract In the rest of WIPP?, Strauss calls for historical studies of works that precede the rise of historicism. “Maimonides' Statement on Political Science” is one such historical study, which enables him to bring out some features that link and others that divide medieval from modern political science. Although Maimonides and Machiavelli are similar in their secretiveness about the ancient alliance of princes and philosophers, the former is so secretive about that and his critique of religion that many do not even realize that he has a political science—indeed, that his masterwork, the Guide of the Perplexed, is at one level a work of political science.
