Book •
Glenn Elmers' 'The Soul of Politics' examines the intellectual life and influence of Harry V. Jaffa, situating him within the Straussian tradition and the study of the American founding.
The book traces Jaffa's interpretation of Lincoln and the Declaration, highlighting how classical political philosophy informs modern American political principles.
Elmers explores Jaffa's role in shaping the Claremont Institute and his critique of modern political thought.
Through biographical detail and philosophical analysis, the book argues for the continuing relevance of natural-rights theory in American political life.
It serves as both an intellectual biography and a defense of the Declaration's philosophical foundations.
