LEO STRAUSS IS A FUNDIE!

In "Relativism", the first chapter of Pangle's book1, page 7, Strauss makes a claim worthy of the Intelligent Design idiots of our own time:

Man cannot be understood in his own light but only in the light of either the subhuman or the superhuman. Either man is an accidental product of a blind evolution or else the process leading to man, culminating in man, is directed towards man.


For the rational among us, the answer is clear: Darwin was correct, Behe is WRONG.

1This originally came from a paper Strauss delivered at a conference and later included in the proceedings: The State of the Social Sciences, Leonard D. White (ed.), Univ. of Chicago Press, 1956, pp. 415-425.
