Relying exclusively on the texts, Professor Strauss analyzes and compares every seemingly casual utterance as well as the more formal statements to recover the true Socrates and to determine the character of political philosophy. He investigates its origins, possibilities, and intention against the nonphilosophical background from which it emerged.

In one of his last books, Socrates and Aristophanes, Leo Strauss's examines the confrontation between Socrates and Aristophanes in Aristophanes' comedies. Looking at eleven plays, Strauss shows that this confrontation is essentially one between poetry and philosophy, and that poetry emerges as an autonomous wisdom capable of rivaling philosophy.

《苏格拉底前后》是作者在四篇讲稿的基础上修改完成的，是有关古希腊哲学的一部重要著作，内容涉及苏格拉底时代前后古希腊的哲学和科学等内容。在书中，作者以苏格拉底为分界点，将古希腊哲学史分为四个阶段：苏格拉底之前的爱奥尼亚科学、苏格拉底时期、柏拉图时期和亚里士多德时期。当然，作者并非只探讨这几个人，和他们同时代的其他重要学者及学派也有所涉及，对亚里士多德以后的斯多噶派和伊壁鸠鲁学派也有论述。 康福德在本书中对古希腊哲学史的分析可谓鞭辟入里、切中肯綮，他的语言也非常生动流畅，使人读来决不像一般的哲学书那样枯燥乏味，应当说这是一本不可不读的哲学史名著，同时也是了解和研究古希腊史的重要参考书。
