Continuing the tradition of modern historicism,contemporary political philosophy has seen a division between historical and ahistorical approaches.The Straussians and the Cambridge School are often seen as rivals in this debate,with their disagreements focused on three key tensions:First,is there an ultimate eternal truth,or is truth bound to specific historical contexts?Second,is the pursuit of wisdom and Summum Bonum(highest good)directed upward,or is it directed downward towards the mediocrity and human desires?Third,should political philosophy be anchored in vita activa(active life)or vita contemplativa(contemplative life)?Ultimately,these differences manifest as a choice between discussing secularized politics in a mortal and secular world,or pursuing transcendent eternal truth and Summum Bonum from an omnipotent perspective.These distinctions ultimately shape the theoretical differences of the two approaches,inevitably engaging with concepts such as human desires,rational planning,and the role and function of spirituality and faith in human life.
