Mark Lilla

Covering 20th Century intellectuals from Leo Strauss to Franz Rosenzweig, Mark Lilla's timely and accessible exploration of the ties between philosopy, religion, and politics will intrigue all interested in intellectual history and the human pursuit of truth--be it spiritual, civil, or philosophical--in modern life.

Mark Lilla's celebrated collection of essays exploring the role of philosophers in political life, now with a new afterword by the author, will be releasing simultaneously with Lilla's new collection The Shipwrecked Mind, also forthcoming from New York Review Books.
