Logica equina

A "review" of Leo Strauss´ "Persecution and the Art of Writing". 

This book is an introduction to the sociology of knowledge. Or perhaps not. The historians must be aided by the sociologists of knowledge. That is a fact. It is the logic of the Houyhnhnms. The esoteric message of the esoteric philosopher is esoteric itself. Or is it? Perhaps it means nothing. Maybe it means a symbol or parable. But perhaps the symbol or parable is esoteric as well. Such is the logic of the Houyhnhnms. Perhaps Plato's dialogue with Trasymachus means something. But that would be absurd. Or perhaps it means nothing. But that would also be absurd. So perhaps we should simply say that it means nothing? Some people are not ready to hear the truth. This is because a + b = c [a - c = b] a + c = d. Yes, that is the logic of the Houyhnhnms. However, I have spelled out the truth in private to my beloved disciples Alan Bloom and Paul "Yahoo" Wolfowitz. Beware of Lyndon LaRouche, he is one of the historicist Lilliputians! Such is the method of the Kuzari. And the logic of the Houyhnhms, mind you.

Well, does *anyone* understand Leo Strauss? ;-)
