English commentary: "It comes to the fore that the hidden ambiguous philosophical hero of the chapter on Rousseau is Spinoza who is mentioned only once by name due to Strauss’ own ambiguous attitude toward the process of secularization, the endpoint of which is Entzauberung and value-neutrality while one of the starting points is Spinoza’s theory and practice of the secularization of the Jews" (from the abstract).
