The essays collected in "Persecution and the Art of Writing" all deal with one problem--the relation between philosophy and politics. Here, Strauss sets forth the thesis that many philosophers, especially political philosophers, have reacted to the threat of persecution by disguising their most controversial and heterodox ideas.

maybe Strauss shouldn't have stressed the persecution aspect too much. The aspect of justice and enlightenment can be of equal importance in the way esotericism is executed.

以迫害为题，正文只轻描淡写地提到了大流散；以三个犹太人为主角（外加一个被犹太学问顶峰尊为楷模的伊斯兰哲人），却闭口不提犹太人问题，感觉看了本“假书”。

施特劳斯主要探讨政治对言论自由的干预。他认为政府一方面通过不断的重复和权威来塑造真相；另一方面，通过迫害压制言论自由。哲学家只能通过将观点隐藏在文本中才能克服这种压迫（隐性书写），因此需要一种写作的艺术和技巧。但是，存在一个问题，只有有思想的人才能理解作者的观点。因此，思想家通过教育来启蒙人们来克服这种思想的压迫。 施特劳斯论述了一种哲学中存在的隐性书写传统，这一传统的存在源于政治与哲学之间的紧张... 施特劳斯主要探讨政治对言论自由的干预。他认为政府一方面通过不断的重复和权威来塑造真相；另一方面，通过迫害压制言论自由。哲学家只能通过将观点隐藏在文本中才能克服这种压迫（隐性书写），因此需要一种写作的艺术和技巧。但是，存在一个问题，只有有思想的人才能理解作者的观点。因此，思想家通过教育来启蒙人们来克服这种思想的压迫。 施特劳斯论述了一种哲学中存在的隐性书写传统，这一传统的存在源于政治与哲学之间的紧张关系，这种关系自苏格拉底之死而起。而这背后实际上又反映了知识分子与大众之间的矛盾，将真理隐藏在典籍中，就无形之中造了一个门槛，即有阅读能力的人才能掌握真理。这一门槛也预示着知识分子圈子的内卷化。 (展开)

强迫读者审慎地反省自身：我是不是达到施特劳斯的“真理是藏在字里行间，被有潜力成为哲学家的青年人发现的”阅读标准？？提供了一种新的方法，结合施特劳斯1954年又写的一篇回应“注意一种被遗忘的写作艺术”（《苏格拉底问题与现代性》收录）一起阅读更能有所获。施特劳斯被称“现代社会中顽固派中的保守派”，没有古典学基础的话（我也没有）读第一章的总论学到方法论也够了。人文主义的福音。
