The Closing of the Professorial Mind: A Meditation on Plato and Allan Bloom.
Silliman, Matt
Educational Theory, v40 n1 p147-51 Win 1990
Bloom's book, "The Closing of the American Mind," is an argument for intellectual isolationism and, as such, is potentially dangerous. In addition, Bloom has misconstrued Plato's "Republic," a text central to his critique of modernity and its education. (IAH)
