“Tonight I want to suggest two improvements for today’s understanding of
politics arising from the humanities. The first is to recapture the notion
of thumos in Plato and Aristotle, referring to a part of the soul that makes
us want to insist on our own importance. Thumos is psychology or biology,
hence science as conceived by those philosophers, but I say it is proper to
the humanities now because, having been expelled from modern science, thumos
lingers, unnoticed and unemployed, in the history of science, which is a
museum of rejected science. The second improvement is the use of names—
proper to literature and foreign to science. Literature tells stories of
characters with names, in places with names, in times with dates. While
science ignores names or explains them away, literature uses and respects
them.”

这个段落里的Thumos中文翻译是“血气”。
这个Lecture的作者
“
他培養的弟子中包括「美國總統（里根）安全助理」、「美參珠L聯席會議主席」、「
美教育部長」、「美新聞署長」、以及「美國防部資深決策」等；他們與包括「美中央
情報局長」在內的其他Strauss的「政治」弟子一起直接參與了八十年代的美國高層決
策，與「蘇東事件」牽連至深。1992年，美國共和黨不無偏頗卻也不無道理地宣佈Leo
Strauss為該黨的「思想教父」，而幾與此同時，Mansfield也被冠以「保守主義王子」
的稱號。
