The divide between Reason, otherwise known as "philosophy," and Revelation, otherwise known orthodoxy or religion, is hardly a new phenomenon. However, the beginning of the Enlightenment saw a new kind of warfare between the two. Oddly enough, almost as soon as the fighting began, the battlefield was abandoned without a victor being declared. Key questions pertaining to the battle between orthodoxy and the Enlightenment were taken for granted over time, until a victor was assumed without a conclusive defeat taking place. Humanity fell into a cave—unaware of the fundamental question—deeper and darker than its original state. This paper will explore the views of Leo Strauss concerning the causes, ramifications, and possible solution to the war between Enlightenment and Revelation.
