While philosophy is a discipline that has been hijacked by the Left, once in a while a philosopher comes along and surprises us.

Can there be a bridge between Heideggerian metaphysics and practical political philosophy?

Just-wage theory tells us that an employer cannot reduce his workers' wages below some presumed "cost of living." Yet, that same employer can be permitted to reduce the worker's wage to zero if the worker has been replaced by a machine.

While Leo Strauss did not share G.W.F. Hegel's acceptance of historicism, nonetheless he gives Hegel a sympathetic review. David Gordon takes a closer look at both men.
