Review

"This volume is a timely response to Allan Bloom's phenomenally successful book, The Closing of the American Mind. These essays are evidence that there are vigorous academic intellects in the United States committed to open, rational ideals of democracy... Certainly, these American philosophers and the philosopher they are honoring have no intention of following Bloom into some neo-medieval monastery. This festschrift could help alert the academic community to this recidivism in its latest and subtlest form and help set straight the intellectual accounts of values and of education in this troubled period." --Darnell Rucker, Skidmore College
