Machiavelli has always been a thorn in the side of “political philosophy”; convinced that I am his scion. Facile liberal-moralist anti-readings keep me entertained, much like sociologists who fail to grasp Weber’s nihilism; undecided on the academic merit of these Straussians infiltrating Machiavelli scholarship. I ventured and chanced upon Straussians.net, a site that not only itemises the characteristics of a good Straussian but also contains a confessional list of neophytes. I hesitate to aggress, but this makes the post-revolution clean-up a little easier, eh? Interestingly, J. G. A. Pocock does not appear on the list.
