Giants And Dwarfs by Allan Bloom
Essays, 1960-1990
A sharp, polemical collection of essays arguing that modern Western culture and higher education have been weakened by relativism, anti-intellectualism, and moral drift; it defends a return to serious, humanistic education and the study of great thinkers and texts, delivers forceful critiques of contemporary intellectual fashions, universities, and political trends, and insists that recovering respect for truth, excellence, and classical learning is essential to arrest cultural decline.
