USED Closing of the American Mind (Bloom - pbk)

Author: Allan Bloom

ISBN: 9781451683202

Binding: paperback

Section: Philosophy/Rhetoric/Logic

In clear, spirited prose, Bloom argues that the social and political crises of contemporary America are part of a larger intellectual crisis: the result of a dangerous narrowing of curiosity and exploration by the university elites. Now, in this twenty-fifth anniversary edition, acclaimed author and journalist Andrew Ferguson contributes a new essay that describes why Bloom’s argument caused such a furor at publication and why our culture so deeply resists its truths today.
