The Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy And Impoverished the Souls of Today's Students - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This critique about the intellectual and moral confusions of our age promotes the view that young people, lacking an understanding of the past and a vision of the future, live in an impoverished present. The author claims that universities 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 and that higher education fails to arouse or to nurture the self-knowledge that has always been the basis for serious, humane learning. The result is a diagnosis of cultural changes which occurred in the last decades in Western civilization, including changes in the language of politics and morals.

The Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy And Impoverished the Souls of Today's Students
Librería: crealivres, La fontennelle, Francia
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Condición: Good. Envoi rapide Bon état. 13 6x3 2x21 2cm. 1988. Broché. 402 pages. Allan Bloom critique sévèrement l'enseignement supérieur américain contemporain arguant qu'il a échoué à former les esprits des étudiants et à préserver les fondements intellectuels nécessaires à la démocratie. Il dénonce un rétrécissement de la curiosité intellectuelle et un abandon des grands textes classiques au profit de mouvements philosophiques modernes qu'il juge néfastes. Good.
