I'm told that Harvey Mansfield, a Harvard professor of government, is such. I don't know his work but friends who know it, consider it first rate as a body of work.

I have read some of his work, and have heard him speak. He has done a few interesting things, but he is a Leo Straussian crank. A little like Alan Bloom, although perhaps more circumspect in his writing (not his talking, though, at least in the talk I heard). Personally, I like Michael Oakeshott better. At least, if he counts as contemporary. If Niehbuhr counts as contemporary, I'd rate him highly too, but maybe he is too "old."
