The book was edited by Svetozar Minkov of the @ls_foundation and @HannesKerber It contains, among other things, Strauss's notebook (with notes on the Crito as well), essays on the contents of the notebook, Strauss's lecture that I'll be speaking on, a draft of an earlier lecture, an essay on Strauss's lecture, and more. A signature feature that I didn't realize when I first got the book is that there is a translation of the dialogue by Seth Benardete with the original Greek text right next to it. Access to this kind of material would usually require travel and difficult archival work. Now, a handsome edition is readily available. One final note that I'd like to talk about in the future, is Strauss working out thoughts on the Platonic forms that one usually doesn't see in his published writings. He seems to have thought that those who concentrated too much on the so-called Theory of the Forms were insufficiently attentive to the dramatic character of Plato's writings, and so Strauss bent the wood away from metaphysics and onto the problem of how to read Plato. The notebook provides proof, if it was needed, that Strauss was not inattentive to thinking through the forms or ideas in his own reading and thinking.
