Which other philosopher's interpretation did Strauss retrace?

  • Plato

  • Socrates

  • Epicurus

  • Zeno

Answer

Plato's interpretation was retraced by Strauss. Strauss believed that Plato's writings concealed a deeper, esoteric meaning beneath their surface level. He argued that Plato used myths and allegories to convey philosophical truths that were too dangerous to express openly. By retracing Plato's interpretation, Strauss sought to uncover these hidden meanings and gain a deeper understanding of Plato's philosophy.
