In the 50s of the twentieth century Leo Strauss and Eric Voegelin conducted an important dispute concerning the status of myth and the relationship of philosophy to theology. As they both remained creative within the broader political philosophy, their argument took the form of discussion on the status of political theology. This discussion seems to be even more interesting as it invokes the controversial position of political theology in the writings of Thomas Hobbes and his followers. In his article the author summarizes both the arguments of overt and directly guided polemics (among others correspondence in the years 1934 to 1964) of both authors, and reconstructs at least the most important evidence of their positions in this dispute. The author wishes also to respond to the subject matter of this dispute, and therefore the relation of philosophy to theology and the relationship between political theology and political philosophy, with reference to recent studies, among others of Merio Scattola and Jacob Taubes, were discussed.
