Leo Strauss as Teacher - reflections by former students (2 of 2)

The Leo Strauss Center held a conference on "Leo Strauss as Teacher" on April 22-23 in Social Science 122 (a lecture hall where Strauss himself occasionally taught) on the campus of the University of Chicago.
The conference marked the publication on the Center's website of digitally remastered audiofiles made from the surviving audiotapes of Leo Strauss's courses. It provided an opportunity to remember, think about, and discuss the example Strauss provided of a great teacher and to talk about the issues involved in preparing the transcripts of his courses for publication.

This is fascinating, and, in places, hilarious. Zinman was my teacher at James Madison College for two years in the late seventies. His memories of Strauss are both funny and touching.

The Oedipus anecdote is hilarious.

The first video in this series is set to private. May I ask UChic. if this is a mistake and if so would request it be corrected. Cheers
