Answer
Strauss was trained in the Neo-Kantian tradition, a philosophical movement that emerged in the late 19th century and sought to reconcile Kantian idealism with the insights of natural science and historical scholarship. Neo-Kantians emphasized the importance of experience and the role of the individual in shaping knowledge and morality. Strauss's early work was heavily influenced by this tradition, particularly the writings of Hermann Cohen and Ernst Cassirer.
