简介
The Closing of the American Mind is a powerful critique, by a distinguished political philosopher, of the intellectual and moral confusions of our age. According to Bloom, we see young people who, lacking an understanding of the past and a vision of the future, live in an impoverished present. And our universities, entrusted with their education, no longer provide the knowledge of the great tradition of philosophy and literature that made students aware of the order of nature and of man's place within it. Higher education fails to arouse or nurture the self-knowledge that has always been the basis for serious, humane learning. A sweeping analysis of the intellectual currents of our century, The Closing of the American Mind is essential to an understanding of America's spiritual malaise. (From Publisher Description)
