Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojeve were two prominent political philosophers who had differing views on the topics of politics, philosophy, morality, and esotericism. Both believed that philosophy was important for understanding the nature of reality and the meaning of life, and that power and violence play a role in human affairs. However, their views differed on the role of the Enlightenment, esotericism, and the purpose of philosophy. Strauss believed that ancient philosophers wrote in an esoteric manner, while Kojeve saw the Enlightenment as a turning point in  human history. While they did not agree on all aspects, they both believed in the importance of philosophy and the power of violence in human affairs.
