English commentary: "Strauss failed to establish any clear link between what he claimed was the essential 'atheism' of the 'Radical Enlightenment' and its demolition of the existing moral, social and political order and this must be deemed a fatal weakness, the central inconsistency, philosophically and historically, in his conception of 'radikale Aufkläruung" (p. 23).
