Strauss is right. I call time traveling 4th dimensional being. Philosophers share the element of being able to connect past, present, and future, regardless of current technology and social practices. Think of the most basic philosophical inquiries: logic and language, mathematics and science. When philosophers investigate these subjects and develop insights into them, the discoveries can be applied anywhere and anytime. This is what makes philosophy appealing and useful regardless of who practices it, where they lived, or when they wrote/spoke
