THIS ARTICLE SEEKS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF LEO STRAUSS'S TEACHING BY EXPLORING THE NATURE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE INTELLECTUAL LINKS BETWEEN STRAUSS AND MARTIN HEIDEGGER. THE AUTHOR ARGUES THAT STRAUSS'S CLAIMS FOR THE NECESSITY OF TURNING TO THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY IN ORDER TO RECOVER THE POSSIBILITY OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY ARE IN PART THE RESULT OF HIS REFLECTIONS ON HEIDEGGER. THE ROLE OF SUCH STUDIES, HOWEVER, IS PROBLEMATIC, GIVEN STRAUSS'S APPARENT UNDERSTANDING OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AS "TRANS-HISTORICAL."
