It was with this publication in1987 that Bloom argues that the social and political crisis of twentieth century America is really an intellectual crisis. Bloom blamed high technology, the sexual revolution, and the introduction of cultural diversity into the curriculum at the expense of the classics, which in turn produced students without wisdom or values. According to Bloom, American democracy has unwittingly played host to vulgarized continental ideas of nihilism and despair, and of relativism disguised as tolerance. Bloom makes a convincing case for the proposition that reading old books about the permanent questions could help reestablish reason and restore the soul. The book can easily be divided into three parts. The first part characterizes the moral and intellectual state of modern university students. He stated that “students these days are in general nice. I choose the word carefully. They are not particularly moral or noble.” He attributes these feelings to moral relativism, instant

12. Robert Fulford's Column About Saul Bellow, Allan Bloom, And Abe Ravelstein Review of the Nobel Laureate's 1999 novel Ravelstein. http://markov.utstat.toronto.edu/fulford/Bellow.html

Saul Bellow, Allan Bloom, and Abe Ravelstein by Robert Fulford Globe and Mail , November 2, 1999) Saul Bellow, 84 years old as the century ends, has lately been spending most of his time on a novel frankly based on Allan Bloom, the great teacher and philosopher who in 1987 wrote an astonishingly successful critique of education, The Closing of the American Mind . Bellow urged Bloom to write that book, contributed the enthusiastic introduction that helped sell it, and for years sang Bloom's praises wherever he could. They were close friends until Bloom's death in 1992. Now Bellow is erecting a literary monument to his friend, titled Ravelstein . The opening section, also called Ravelstein, which ran in the Nov. 1 issue of the New Yorker , turns out to be prime Bellow: dense, funny, surprising, crammed with the powerful sense of life that marks all of his best writing. If the novel (due in April) is as good as the excerpt, it can only add to Bellow's already majestic reputation. Bloom's admirers, however, will not be unanimously grateful. The people who studied with him at Cornell, Toronto, and Chicago speak of him with awe as a great shaping force in their lives. He seems to have humbled even Bellow, not an easy chore, but Bellow obviously believes that greatness deserves frankness, whatever Bloom's other friends think. So he has made Bloom's intimate life part of the story. Remarkably, no reference to Bloom's homosexuality has previously appeared in printnot in the publicity that surrounded his best-seller, or his obituaries, or even his posthumously published book

William Shakespeare is the only classical author to remain widely popularnot only in America but throughout the worldand Allan Bloom argues that this is because no other writer holds up a truer mirror to human nature. Unlike the Romantics and other moderns, Shakespeare has no project for the betterment or salvation of mankindhis poetry simply gives us eyes to see what is there. In particular, we see the full variety of erotic connections, from the "star-crossed" devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the failed romance of Troilus and Cressida to the problematic friendship of Falstaff and Hal. This volume includes essays on five plays, Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, and The Winter's Tale

This version appeared in the Summer 2000 issue of Texas Education Review Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind was published in 1987, and it has been bought, if not exactly read, by millions of Americans since then. In many ways this was a very useful book. It brought into public view the scandal of the universities, which openly teach that there is no principled difference between good and evil. Bloom exposes and denounces the pervasive and mindless relativism has exhausted the spirit of the West so badly over the past century.

The Educational Theory of Allan Bloom Analyst: Michael Leichliter RETURN edited 12/14/01 I. Theory of Value What knowledge and skills are worthwhile learning? What are the goals of education? Democratic education, whether it admits it or not, wants and needs to produce men and women who have the tastes, knowledge, and character supportive of a democratic regime. (p. 26) From the earliest beginnings of liberal thought there was a tendency in the direction of indiscriminate freedom. Hobbes and Locke, and the American Founders following them, intended to palliate extreme beliefs, particularly religious beliefs, which lead to civil strife. The members of sects had to obey the laws and be loyal to the Constitution; if they do so, other had to leave them alone, however distasteful their beliefs might be. In order to make this arrangement work, there was a conscious, if covert, effort to weaken religious beliefs, partly by assigning - as a result of a great epistemological effort - religion to the realm of opinion as opposed to knowledge. But the right to freedom of religion belonged to the realm of knowledge. . . . All to the contrary, the sphere of rights was to be the arena of moral passion in a democracy. Openness used to be the virtue that permitted us to seek the good by using reason. It now means accepting everything and denying reason's power. The unrestrained and thoughtless pursuit of openness, without recognizing the inherent political, social, or cultural problem of openness as the goal of nature, has rendered openness meaningless. Cultural relativism destroys both one's own and the good. (p. 38)

R E L A T E D T O P I C S Books and the Arts Culture and Identity T H E A U T H O R Paul Varnell Allan Bloom's Last Testament By Paul Varnell Originally appeared May 17, 2000, in the Chicago Free Press. Allan Bloom, subject of a new novel by Saul Bellow, stood head and shoulders above most critics of modern education and contemporary culture. But many of the conservatives who lionized him did not know, or did not want to know, or did not want it known that they were admiring a gay man. SAUL BELLOW is one of America's most distinguished novelists. Whenever he publishes a new work it is a literary event. But his most recent novel "Ravelstein," based on Bellow's long friendship with University of Chicago political philosopher Allan Bloom, is something of a political/cultural event as well because it reveals to the general public that Bloom was gay and, apparently, died of AIDS. Bloom himself became a cultural phenomenon back in 1987 when he published his famous polemic "The Closing of the American Mind," a scathing criticism of modern American university education for its shallowness and triviality.
