Summary/Abstract: The paper is an analysis of Leo Strauss’s approach to political philosophy seen as a return to natural and common sense understanding of political matters. It focuses on such Straussian categories as political life, philosophy, and nature. Strauss points at difficulties in scientific understanding of “the political” and problems with the relation between science and ethics. Political philosophy is an attempt to rediscover the natural and common sense perspective of the political life. This paper is an outline of Strauss’s diagnosis.
