This essay analyses the «Notes on the Concept of the Political » that Leo Strauss wrote in 1932 as a commentary on the "Begriff des Politischen" by Carl Schmitt. The first part briefly expounds Strauss's main thesis concerning Schmitt's work - Carl Schmitt proposes «a liberalism with the opposite polarity » - while the second part discusses this thesis, in an attempt to show that the distance between Schmitt and Strauss is far more radical than it might seem.
