Ideology of the World-System (2) - Wohlstetter, Strauss

Le Monde, mercredi 16 avril 2003, p 12-13, carried an article, entitled (in
French) "The Strategist and the Philosopher", referring to Albert
Wohlstetter and Leo Strauss, as the intellectual fathers of the
neoconservatism of the present Washington establishment. The article
observes, inter alia, that "The ostracism that victimized the students of
Leo Strauss in the American university milieu pushed them into public
service, 'think tanks', and the press." The article discusses the ideas of
Wohlstetter and Strauss and shows some links with public pronouncements -
for example, the emphasis on value and virtue by Strauss and the stand
against an "axis of evil" by Bush.

[Note: by "ideology of the world system" I mean the leading ideas of the
leading circles of the presently existing world system]
