Leo Strauss and the Closed Society by Matthew Rose
“He argued that good teachers should not seek to dispel the allure of the closed society; instead, they should carefully draw students directly inside of it. This pedagogy would enable students to experience the power of the closed society’s moral demands, to sense the appeal of its political life, and to feel challenged by its vision of human excellence.”
Very interesting analysis of a speech given by Leo Strauss encouraging the values of a "closed society" while living in an open one.
