Many critics charged that the neoconservatives lost their influence as a result of the end of the Soviet Union. [34] Author Keith Preston named the successful effort on behalf of neoconservatives such as George Will and Irving Kristol to cancel Reagan's 1980 nomination of Mel Bradford, a Southern Paleoconservative academic whose regionalist focus and writings about Abraham Lincoln and Reconstruction alienated the more cosmopolitan and progress-oriented neoconservatives, to the leadership of the National Endowment for the Humanities in favor of longtime Democrat William Bennett as emblematic of the neoconservative movement establishing hegemony over mainstream American conservatism.

But I can never forget what it achieved as a moral force in an era of complete dissolution. Among those who worked for Jackson were incipient neoconservatives Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, and Richard Perle. [45] Strauss's emphasis on moral clarity led the Straussians to develop an approach to international relations that Catherine and Michael Zuckert (2008) call Straussian Wilsonianism (or Straussian idealism), the defense of liberal democracy in the face of its vulnerability. While Strauss maintained a sympathetic interest in Zionism, he later came to refer to Zionism as "problematic" and became disillusioned with some of its aims. [69] In this context, disputes over the non-aggression principle in domestic and foreign policy, especially given the doctrine of preemption, alternatively impede and facilitate studies of the impact of libertarian precepts on neo-conservatism. Kerber, Hannes. [81] When he was 17, as he said, he was "converted" to political Zionism as a follower of Vladimir Jabotinsky.

Kojve would later write that, without befriending Strauss, "I never would have known what philosophy is". Statements by Wolfowitz and additional members of the George W.

Strauss does not consider the possibility that real universality becomes known to human beings in a concretized, particular form. He spoke of the danger in trying finally to resolve the debate between rationalism and traditionalism in politics. A political scientist examining politics with a value-free scientific eye, for Strauss, was self-deluded. Nevertheless, the origins of their ideology on the left are still apparent. Much of his philosophy is a reaction to the works of Heidegger. [74] The neocons had little influence in the Obama White House,[75][76] and neo-conservatives have lost much influence in the Republican party since the rise of the Tea Party Movement.
