Abstract

Leo Strauss was a profound reader of Nietzsche. Impacted by the philosopher of Zarathustra since his youth, Strauss developed a complex and original interpretation of Nietzsche's fundamental role in the history of thought. In this paper, I intend to show that Professor Strauss's interpretation has different nuances and dispositions, which involve both a personal passion and subsequent criticism and appropriation. I conclude that Strauss sees in Nietzsche someone who pointed to a possible path to overcome nihilism by means of a radical critique of the constitutive aspects of modernity, offering a way out of the crisis of meaning that affects contemporary humanity.
