![]() But the meaning of "nature" in Strauss is an enigma: it may refer either to the "natural understanding" of commonsense, or to nature "as intended by natural science," or to "unchangeable and knowable necessity." As a student of Husserl, Strauss sought both to retrieve and radically critique both the "natural understanding" and the "naturalistic" worldview of natural science. The "nonpolitical" understood as the natural, Strauss suggests, is the "foun-dation of the political". Yet the space of the nonpolitical in Strauss remains elusive. This reading finds extensive support in Strauss's work, notably in the claim that political life leads beyond itself to contemplation and in the limits this imposes on politics. ![]() Leo Strauss has been read as the author of a paradoxically nonpolitical political philosophy. ![]()

This coronavirus crisis and resultant peril has made me anxious, and writing/reading/learning about comics is one of few things that relaxes me. Each post features a recommendation generously picked by someone in comics - writer, artist, editor, journalist, publicist, etc. Essentially, it’s a crowdsourced coronavirus comics reading list. With that in mind, we’re running a new post each weekday throughout April and into May. Yet, many of us need our hobby more than ever, confined to our homes and looking for bits of joy and escape. So - distribution of new comics physically is mostly paused, with indications suggesting it will remain this way for the foreseeable future. There are far more serious lenses to examine these times through, but comics is the one that unites us here. ![]() By Zack Quaintance - We’re living through odd and difficult times, rife with slow-burning uncertainty. ![]() ![]() ![]() At the request of the company's director, Poirot launches an investigation into the man's death and quickly discovers that there is no shortage of suspects among the travelers.

Part of the problem is that we rarely see and hear from police themselves. With the rhetoric so polarized, it is difficult to ascertain whether things are getting better or worse. According to their critics, police seem bent on maintaining the status quo - unaccountable to the public, racially insensitive and over-the-top and abusive in their efforts to protect and serve. This assessment will no doubt sound a bit out of touch given recent events in Ferguson, Cleveland and New York City. And, in places like Los Angeles and New York, officers are working hard to build positive community relationships. Departments have adopted evidence-based policymaking to measure effectiveness, track crime and allocate resources. Officials have made great efforts to bring women and minorities into the ranks. On the one hand, police forces across the country have become more progressive. Any observer of urban policing will note a sharp contradiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() Collects 100 Bullets #1-58 and a tale from Vertigo: Winter’s Edge #3.
