Leo Strauss and Nietzsche by Laurence Lampert

"One of the gods announced one day, 'There is only one God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me,' and all the other gods--died laughing." (T.S. Zarathustra, Nietzsche.) "The death of that presumptuous deity presages the rebirth of the laughing gods." Lampert

"Nietzsche sets out to accomplish philosophy's rule over religion by generating values true to the earth, opposite values to those employed by Plato in his successful accomplishment of philosophy's rule over religion." Lampert
