Abstract
Abstact: Following the proposal of the recent book by José María Torralba, Una educación liberal. Elogio de los grandes libros, this article aims to offer a defense of liberal education, focusing on a fundamental aspect: the philosophical foundations of this type of education. To do so, we will devote the following reflection to the thought of political philosopher Leo Strauss (1899-1973), focusing on the present importance we can confer to the reading of the works of the past. By doing so, we want to contribute to the understanding of the controversial thought of Leo Strauss, which, in turn, means to take part in the recovery of philosophy in its original sense.
