George Anastaplo’s volume, The Bible:  Respectful Readings, was published in 2008 by Lexington Books. It drew on a law review collection published by him under the title, “Law & Literature and the Bible:   Explorations,” in Volume 23 of the Oklahoma City University Law Review (Fall 1998). Materials were added to the thus-modified original law review collection.

The Index for the 2008 volume concluded (at page 401) with the announcement, “An unabridged version of this Index is available from the author.” It is that complete Index which is provided here, joining thereby, in the Anastaplo/wordpress collection, the Index prepared by George Anastaplo in December 2011 for his volume, Reflections on Slavery and the Constitution (to be published in 2012 by Lexington Books). (John Metz, of Evanston, Illinois, is continuing, with extraordinary diligence, to develop the George Anastaplo wordpress website founded by the late Joel Rich of Chicago, Illinois.

The Index prepared by George Anastaplo for The Bible volume had to be trimmed somewhat by the publisher in 2008. Space limitations and editorial policies were among the factors contributing to the reshaping of the Bible Index when that book was published.

It should be recognized, however, that the complete index for an Anastaplo book does tend either to reinforce or to qualify points suggested in the volume.

There have been published by George Anastaplo two dozen book-length law review collections in recent decades. The publishing history of The Bible volume (and of his 2004 On Trial volume) suggests what might be done to convert those law review collections into books. It is not likely, however, that the author (who is now in his 87^th year) will have either the time or the energy to do much more than he has already done with most of his longer law review collections.

However that may be, there should soon be provided in the Anastaplo/wordpress collection a list of all of his longer law review collections which are eligible for transformation into books. There should also be provided a list of Anastaplo volumes already in print, accompanied by a list of other volumes that are contemplated (aside from what may yet be done with published law review collections).

Here, in any event, is the unabridged version of the Index prepared four years ago for The Bible:   Respectful Readings (Lexington Books, 2008).

Foreword

            This is the first opportunity I have had here at the University of Chicago to speak publicly about Jeremiah J. German who died (in his sleep) in Baltimore last November. He was a student of economics trained in this University, where he came under the powerful influence of Milton Friedman. He finished his academic career on the economics faculty of Towson University in Maryland.

He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in June 1920. One of his parents had come to the United States from the Ukraine, the other from Byelorussia.

I came to know him because his wife, like mine, had been trained as a social worker in this University. Pearl German went on to a distinguished career as a member of the faculty of the School of Public Health of the Johns Hopkins University.

I am particularly indebted to Jerry German for his help in securing for me my first employment, in the 1950s, by this University. That was at the Industrial Relations Center, where he induced Nicholas J. Melas to take me on as a Research Associate in a Management Training Program. (Nick Melas himself went on to a distinguished career with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Chicago, where he was very much involved in the development of the Deep Tunnel.)

Among our clients at the Industrial Relations Center was the New York Central Railroad, working primarily with that part of the company’s management which operated out of Toledo. Particularly memorable was the ride arranged for me one day alongside the engineer in the cab of a freight train that ran from Toledo to Elkhart. I could be reminded on that occasion of what it means to wield power, recalling the days (a decade earlier) when I served as an aerial navigator in the United States Army Air Corps across the Pacific and in the Middle East.

Still more memorable, and particularly relevant for this occasion, is how I recall Jerry German marveling (indeed, waxing poetic) that all in this Country, no matter when their families came here or where they had come from, take sides in the Civil War that had taken place long before their forebears ever thought of emigrating to the United States. This testifies to the continuing relevance of that great struggle, with the souls of Americans (of whatever heritage) challenged first to determine and then to defend their allegiances in that monumental contest, a contest that somehow seems to challenge as well one’s general understanding both of human things and of how they should be ordered in a variety of circumstances.

This was something that Jeremiah German was always interested in. Perhaps this helps account for the efforts he made, in his very old age (while continuing to work on Libertarian economics issues)—the efforts he made to write character sketches and short stories, some of which are quite charming. All this testifies to his delighted, and delightful, lifelong interest in human things, for which all who were privileged to know him can truly be grateful.

[There followed this January 15, 2012 tribute to Jeremiah German a talk, “Slavery, the Civil War, and the Development, Spiritual as well as Material, of the United States of America,” which is the 2012 version of George Anastaplo’s annual contribution to the University of Chicago Works of the Mind Lecture Series. That talk may be found elsewhere in the Anastaplo.wordpress site.]

Afterword

            I return, after this discussion of the Civil War and its effects on the American soul, to my public recognition of Jeremiah J. German. And here I venture to look even deeper into the foundations of the American regime.

I now draw, that is, upon what I noticed in my first book, The Constitutionalist:   Notes on the First Amendment (published in 1971 by the Southern Methodist University Press and reprinted in 2005 by Lexington Books). Thus it is recorded, at pages 721-22 of that book (Chapter 8, note 98),

“I have argued in this book and elsewhere that freedom of speech is the everyday equivalent for Americans of that right and duty of revolution insisted upon by the Declaration of Independence. The tentative interpretation which follows of the votes in the House of Representatives of the Fifth Congress [on what became] the Sedition Act of 1798 may reinforce this suggestion.

“Of the 44 [Representatives] who voted for that act, we know the ages of 43; of the 41 who voted against it, we know the ages of 38. The known ages range from 23 through 68. I arrange them, for my purpose, in [three] age groups, 23-37, 38-54, 55-68 (which are of approximately equal spread in years: the “young,” the “middle-aged,” and the “old” members of the House of Representatives). Of the 43 known yeas, approximately 37% (16) were young, 47% (20) were middle-aged, and 16% (7) were old. Of the 38 known nays, 21% (8) were young, 71% (27) were middle-aged, and 8% (3) were old. It can be said of this difference in age distribution among the yeas and the nays that, statistically, one would expect, in only one of five chances, to find a random distribution of yeas and nays to show such a deviation or greater between the observed voting behavior and the voter’s year of birth.”

At this point, in my 1971 text, I observed,

(I am indebted for this formulation of the preceding sentence to Jeremiah J. German, my former colleague in the Industrial Relation Center of the University of Chicago. Adjustments can be made in the age groupings, which would affect somewhat the proportions, but would still leave significant disparities between yeas and nays.)

I then continued that 1971 note with these suggestions:

“The difference in distribution, which shows the middle-aged, and only the middle-aged, significantly more disposed to vote nay than yea [with respect to the Sedition Act of 1798], may be explained in these terms:   the middle-aged of 1798 were, at the beginning of the Revolution (twenty-two years before), between the ages of 16 and 32; the old of 1798 were already formed politically by the time of the Revolution; the young of 1798 were formed politically by events subsequent to the Revolution. My conclusion independent of these statistics has been that men shaped by the Declaration of Independence are more likely than others to be opposed to the Sedition Act of 1798 and to be sympathetic to freedom of speech as defined in this book. Are not the middle-aged among the age groups in the House of 1798 the very ones most likely to have been formed by the Revolution and its Declaration?”

Further on in that 1971 note I observe, “I set forth these speculations here in order to invite suggestions and interpretations from others.” The same can be said, of course, about the speculations I have ventured to develop here today about the effects of the Civil War of 1861-1865 upon the American Soul.

One recognizes that one’s speculations about such matters should be repeatedly examined and, if need be, challenged. At the same time, one recognizes that there should be appropriate acknowledgments of the contributions made by others (such as Jeremiah J. German) to one’s efforts to understand what may truly be worth investigating—again and again.

The Preface for the 2012 Slavery and the Constitution volume concludes with this paragraph:

The tension perhaps intrinsic to the American regime founded in 1776 may be seen at its most intense in the Civil War of 1861-1865. That desperate conflict may also be seen even to have deepened the American Soul, perhaps making it more interesting as well as more vulnerable. Indeed, the juxtaposition in this Country between the Founding Era and the Civil War may be usefully linked to the juxtaposition, among the Ancient Greeks (so critica1~to the Western Heritage),between the cosmology-providing Hesiod and the crises-minded Homer (with Abraham Lincoln somehow serving as our Odysseus [about which I hope to say much more later]). It should also be remembered here what Socrates does with Odysseus in the closing pages of Plato’s Republic.

D. Talks, Papers,  and Interviews

These are talks, interviews, faculty and other seminar papers, or panel discussions of which there remain printed or typed versions, manuscripts, detailed outlines, or tape recordings.  Some have already been expanded and published as articles.  Many more of them should eventually be prepared for publication (including in collections on the Bible, on Classical studies, on modern Greece and the Colonels, on constitutional law and jurisprudence, on Abraham Lincoln, on William  Shakespeare, and on Leo Strauss). They provide, in their present form, indications of their author’s interests over the years.  Most radio and television appearances are not noticed here.  Diaries are not noticed either, nor is diary-like correspondence; but dedications and memorial remarks are noticed (and could be collected in a volume of Remembrances). Single asterisks identify items published in an article by the author (Part C, above).  Double asterisks identify items included in those journal articles by the author, most of them of book length, which are collections of a number of talks and papers by him.  Triple asterisks identify items included in one of the author’s published books (Part B, above).  See the Introduction to Part C, above

E. Selected Letters to Editors

Letters to editors are difficult to keep track of.  They are even more subject to editorial revision than what usually appears in the American press.  (See, e.g., Items D-V/30/1968 and D-VII/31/1993, above.)  In addition, such letters are often revised by an author as they are sent to a series of newspapers (where they may be published without the author’s knowledge).  The headings printed with letters (as with newspaper articles) are usually provided by editors.  Letters to editors provide a useful indication of what one may consider appropriate for public comment from time to time.

If circumstances permit, most of the Anastaplo Letters to Editors (since the 1940s) should be collected, with appropriate commentary, in a volume, In the Court of Public Opinion. An indication of how such letters can be used as “background”for one’s career and arguments is provided by the fifty-two letters in Part C of Item B-14 (Projected), above, beginning with Item E-V/8/1997, below, and ending with Item E-VII/4/2003, below. The texts of the first and last such letters in the B-14 series are provided below, as is the text of the forty-ninth letter, Item C-VI/9/2003, below. Some of the letters in the B-14 series have been published in newspapers.

Triple asterisks identify items reprinted in one of the author’s books (see Part B, above).

(Text: “The orchestrated suicides’ of thirty-nine Heaven’s Gate cult members in San Diego remind us of the deadly folly that can result from bizarre delusions which are not adequately challenged by the community at large. The form and consequences of such fatal nonsense vary according to time and other circumstances, depending in part upon the temperament and experiences of the more susceptible among us. The recklessness, if not the cynicism, of those who concoct, peddle, and promote dangerous delusions should be recognized. Also to be recognized, far more than it sometimes seems to be, is the duty that sensible people have to challenge and thereby to help discipline those who habitually talk nonsense or who are peculiarly responsive to the nonsense they hear. Those privileged to know something about what ‘evidence’ means should not shrink from being publicly ‘judgmental’ when the occasion demands, however careful they should be not to sound moralistic in their championing of a sound morality. The Heaven’s Gate debacle should be even more troubling than it naturally is when it is recognized that there were probably some murder victims (and hence at least a few murderers) among the thirty-nine ‘suicides’ in San Diego.”) (Incorporated in Item C-1997(8), above, pp. 487-88, n. 59, and in Item B-14 (Projected), above, Letter C-1.)

Some of us, who were Mr. Strauss’s students at the University of Chicago, also fail to see him as the reactionary guru that some would evidently like him to be.

(366 U.S. 82[1961]) That is, his two-sentence letter to me, of June 22, 1961, was hardly that of a right-wing ideologue: ‘This is only to pay you my respects for your brave and just action. If the American Bench and Bar have any sense of shame they must come on their knees to apologize to you.’ I suspect that Leo Strauss, upon confronting those Administration adventurists who now claim to find in his teachings support for their presumptuous imperialism, would recall (as he often did) the Dutch grandmother’s advice: ‘You will be surprised, my son, to learn with how little wisdom this world of ours is governed.’” (Incorporated in Item B-14 (Projected), above, Letter C-49.)

Prologue

If it had been at all anticipated that a million copies of Allan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind would be sold, many things in it would no doubt have been written much more carefully than they were–but if that had been done, the book would have sold nowhere near as well as it has.²

Professor Bloom’s widely-acclaimed book provides shorthand reminders of what is wrong in higher education today.  Everywhere one goes this year on campuses, one encounters people interested in the Bloom phenomenon, just as last year one encountered people interested in the Bork phenomenon.  Since I am known to have been in school with both Robert Bork and Allan Bloom at the University of Chicago (in the Law School and the Committee on Social Thought, respectively), I have been many times asked about these celebrites who share the not altogether happy capacity of saying plausible, even sensible, things in a highly provocative manner.³

We are all in Mr. Bloom’s debt both for the dozens of fine students in political philosophy he has helped train and for several fine things he has published.⁴  Particularly instructive have been his studies of Shakespeare,⁵ his translation of Plato’s Republic,⁶ and his translation of Rousseau’s Emile.⁷  We would be even further in his debt if he could now transform some of his phenomenal winnings from the bestseller lottery into the leisure needed to prepare for publication his brilliant doctoral dissertation on Isocrates.⁸

Mr. Bloom is one of many who are privileged to recognize Leo Strauss as a teacher.⁹  He, however, has had a publishing success inconceivable for his master.  In fact, I estimate that more copies of Closing have been sold than of all the books published by Mr. Strauss and his other students combined.¹⁰  For better and for worse, the form, tone and substance of Closing will represent to many, for a long time to come, what the Straussian persuasion means.¹¹

The Closing of the American Mind has become an “event,” making it difficult for us to assess the book in itself.  Since there is in its overall argument relatively little that is both new and sound, it would not warrant much attention if it were merely still another academic title.  But the astonishing reception of the book places it outside the normal range of scholarly interest.  One can be reminded of what the citizens of Thebes faced when they discovered the remarkably unnatural creature they had in Oedipus.  We can see great success turn into an appalling curse in Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannos.

In any event, the unnatural is hard to talk because the usual points of reference are not available.  In Mr. Bloom’s circumstances, moreover, a clear grasp of the situation is hard to secure among those who cannot help but be jealous of, as well as appalled by, what has chanced to happen.

I.

The unnatural was once readily associated with the impious.  Something of the impious may be detected in Mr. Bloom’s book, which is rather odd considering that it stands for a return to an older way of education.

One form impiety can take is neglect of one’s origins and teachers.  Leo Strauss, his principal teacher, is ignored, even though there are in the book dozens, if not hundreds, of echoes of that teacher’s work.¹²  Nor can one easily gather from this book that most of the things Mr. Bloom has to say about the current failings of higher education in this country are things already long bruited about at the University of Chicago and elsewhere when he first arrived on the academic scene in the 1940s.¹³

To be sure, Mr. Bloom is prepared, in private conversations and in public interviews, to acknowledge both Mr. Strauss and the University of Chicago.¹⁴  But the stance taken throughout his book is that of the pioneer staking out new ground rather than that of the laborer cultivating soil already cleared by others.  This desperate self-assertiveness, which is less generous than Mr. Bloom is naturally inclined to be, is intimately linked, I suspect, to his decision to dramatize the 1960s as somehow the point of departure in the United States for the crisis he is announcing.¹⁵

Is it not misleading to permit a grounding in the classics to seem so self-centered that one can neglect what is due to one’s teachers and to one’s community?¹⁶  This is the questionable side of what is often condemned as “elitism.”  Certainly, it is not healthy to leave the impression that those upon whom one has depended, and from whom one has learned much, have not been duly appreciated.  This is a an instructive aspect of that extreme form of impiety found in an obvious repudiation of the divine.

II.

Something of the determination to enlist everything in the service of his thesis may be seen in the way Mr. Bloom deals with the texts of the great writers he draws upon.  One can easily get the impression, if this book were all one had to go by, that he never truly studies such books but merely uses them.  I am reminded of a comment I once heard from Mr. Strauss about Nietzsche:  he always found Nietzsche interesting in his masterful generalizations, but he often found him simply wrong in the details which he could check out for himself.¹⁷

One observation after another in Closing is questionable:  Socrates is presented more in opposition to Achilles than Plato indicates;¹⁸ Aristotle is presented as saying that sexual intercourse, rather than moral virtue, is one of man’s two peaks;¹⁹ enterprising moderns such as Hobbes and Locke are presented as if they wanted to uproot ambition;²⁰ Maimonides is presented as if he identified theology with philosophy;²¹ Goethe is presented in a way that seems to leave a useful discussion dependent upon errors in translation of a key passage in Faust;²² Schiller is presented in a way that makes him far less sophisticated than he is about Homer;²³ and Rousseau, Kant, Hegel and Nietzsche are presented as “thinkers of the highest order,” even though they are fundamentally wrong in critical respects.²⁴  One can easily conclude that there is in the abundance of Closing, which is much more biographical and sociological than philosophical, hardly a statement about any of the great authors or their books that can be confidently relied upon.²⁵

It may even make one wonder what good the kind of education advocated in Closing is if it should exhibit, if not depend upon, such unreliable scholarship.  There is a warning here for all of us who have been influenced by Mr. Strauss, who was himself the model of care and restraint in his broadranging scholarship, however daring and unconventional he was willing to appear in his conclusions.  A proper education should make one cautious in one’s uses of sources, moderate in the tone of one’s political and social advocacy, and anything but overbearing in one’s assessment of the less enlightened, keeping in mind that it is usually easier to attack than to defend.  Related to these concerns is the perennial question of how influential the traditional education can be if its advocates display themselves, both in public and in private, as decidedly self-indulgent.

Someone may protest that it is not fair to assess Closing as a scholarly work.  Still, all reports indicate that it was originally prepared as a book that would appeal to a limited academic audience.  It is common knowledge that the publisher had a lot to say about how the text should be rearranged.  What governed the arrangement of the material was not the author’s ideas, but the publisher’s commercial instincts, with the “packaging” of the book taking precedence over its substance.  Cannot we see reflected in such deference to consumerism one major cause of the deterioration of American education rightly decried by Mr. Bloom?

Is it difficult to take seriously any book whose author has acquiesced in a comprehensive rearrangement of what he had thought fit to say.  Mr. Strauss, on the other hand, was legendary in his insistence upon the integrity of the texts he carefully prepared.²⁶  He would have found congenial the injunction issued by a fastidious author²⁷ to his publisher:  “I write; you print.”

III.

The deficiencies all too evident in Mr. Bloom’s use of books and authors in the great Western tradition may be seen as well in his handling of American things, not least with respect to the origins and principles of the regime.  He has too low a view of the Founders, virtually taking them to have been primarily Hobbesians.  He does not seem to appreciate what Mr. Strauss said about the elevated character of what the Founders said and did.²⁸  But then, Mr. Bloom himself is so much more interested in intellectual accomplishments than in the moral virtues that he can easily be taken to be a nihilist.²⁹  Be that as it may, his approach, which runs the risk of mere crankiness if not even of sterility, raises serious questions about any effort to guide citizens properly.

However dubious Mr. Bloom’s view of the American founding is, even more so is his view of the lamentable re-founding he in effect sees as having taken place after the Second World War.  Much is made of “the German connection,” with Nietzsche, Heidegger and the like presented as principally responsible for the relativism and the moral and intellectual decline which this country has suffered.³⁰  The dramatics Mr. Bloom relies upon here and elsewhere are critical to his success both as the author of Closing and as a teacher.  This is not to deny, however, that he can have a salutary effect upon bright students, in large part because he can and does point them back to the powerful, yet sober and sobering, works of Leo Strauss.

Long before Mr. Bloom first came to the University of Chicago as a college student in the middle 1940s, vigorous criticism could be heard there and elsewhere of the rise of relativism and a related decline in higher education.  The developments criticized did not depend upon the European scholars Mr. Bloom makes so much of, who had fled from the Nazis a decade before.  When Chief Justice Vinson informed us, in his 1951 opinion affirming the Communist Party leaders’ Smith Act convictions, that “nothing is more certain in modern society than the principle that there are no absolutes,” he and his teachers had not been shaped primarily by Nietzsche and the like.³¹  And when Justice Holmes, two generations before, could ridicule any notion of the common law as “a brooding omnipresence in the sky,” he was drawing upon a legal realism movement that went back into the Nineteenth Century.³²

Much more influential in this country than German thinkers, who continue to find it difficult to make headway against American common sense, has been modern science, especially in physics and biology, subjects about which Mr. Bloom does not pretend to know much.³³  These developments have affected the religious opinions of the American people, just as they have those of others around the world.  They have also induced a deep uncertainty in secular thought about man’s place in the universe.  Nietzsche and Heidegger, among others, have been shaken by the same developments, which go back to Machiavelli, Hobbes and Locke, but have responded to them in ways that the typical American thinker still finds uncongenial.

One obvious consequence of modern science is the remarkable technology harnessed to it.  This has led to a steady escalation in the standard of living, an unprecedented personal and social mobility, and the development of all kinds of devices (including birth control aids) which promote self-gratification and undermine a sense of community.  What the automobile began to do to the American community after the First World War, medicine and television have continued to do in an even more intensive and pervasive form since the Second World War.  Indeed, it is an astonishing feature of Closing that so little is said in it about the disastrous effects of television upon American education and upon community life here as in other parts of the world.³⁴  Do not we all know what it has done to the capacity of students to read, to concentrate, and to work?  They are much more apt now than they were two generations ago to expect their teachers to entertain them.

A people shaped by television insists upon

spectaculars as well as upon instant gratification–in sports,

in politics, and in intellectual experiences–and it is these debased tastes that Closing, with its cascades of pronouncements on scores of books and authors, caters to.  The middle-class book buyers who have been drawn to Mr. Bloom’s learned jeremiad find it much more congenial to believe that the chronic problems of their children are due to the drugs, music, and sexuality that outsiders have foisted upon them than to the television that those parents have been themselves too caught up with to deny to their children.  Far too much is made of the effects of the universities, and not enough of science and technology (which are to a considerable extent independent of the principal influences of academic life), in the shaping of the American people.

IV.

Whatever the principal influences upon us–whether modern science, or technology, or thinkers ranging from Machiavelli and Hobbes to Rousseau, Nietzsche and Heidegger–, they all contribute to one result, a serious questioning of the status of nature among us.  Mr. Bloom is too good a student of Leo Strauss not to be aware of how critical the problem of nature is in any effort to understand the modern development.

The merits of The Closing of the American Mind are evident here.  Consider how one critic has put his recognition of what the book can surely teach us:³⁵

Mr. Bloom reminds us that the present defect of schooling at all levels is basically intellectual.  The jumble of “subjects” into which the curriculum has fallen is part of the problem, as is the reduction of learning to psychological adjustment and job skills, rather than the struggle for truth and an underlying understanding of things.  And this reduction has not been at odds with what the universities teach, but in line with it, reflecting the chaos of learning which has overtaken them and the low view of human nature which, at least in the social sciences, they have adopted.

Mr. Bloom recalls this for us in trenchant terms that could have been used half a century ago by Robert M. Hutchins, then president of the university at which Mr. Bloom teaches.  For the complaint as to higher education in this country is at least as old as that, though Mr. Bloom des not go very far toward acknowledging the fact, and though few writers on the subject have been as eloquent as he in making the case.

Mr. Bloom, who has been very much (I believe too much) influenced by Rousseau and Nietzsche, is probably most eloquent in depicting the confusion in students’ souls and in the souls of many of his colleagues.  And there is something commendable in his willingness to speak the truth as he sees it.

Thus the book has become, and is likely to remain for a decade, a convenient symbol of what is wrong in American higher education.  It is less likely to be useful as a guide to what can be done about our problems.  Even though Closing is not easy to

read–with relatively few readers getting past the sensational exposes, in the opening chapters, of the vagaries of student

life–, it may help impressionable people begin to respect the study of good books as at least fashionable.

It contributes to the dramatic character of Mr. Bloom’s assault upon established educational prejudices that he should seem much more original, far less derivative, than he is.  The soundness of Leo Strauss’s thought is testified to, however, in that it can assert itself despite Mr. Bloom’s many mistakes if not wrongheadness.  It has been somewhat sad, nevertheless, to see how bitterly Mr. Strauss has been attacked in some quarters because of this book.  I can only hope that some of Mr. Struass’s critics and their readers can be encouraged to go look at “the real thing” rather than settle for the caricature of the Straussian approach to political philosophy that has been conjured up by some reviewers.

In any event, the thoughtful reader who is aware of Mr. Strauss’s virtues can better appreciate, as he watches some Straussians carry on, how various of Socrates’ naturally ambitious or temperamentally difficult students could be mistaken as products of his teaching.  In any event, Mr. Bloom may have sensed that he could “let himself go” as he has in Closing only if he kept Mr. Strauss “literally” out of sight.  His mentor here would be Alcibiades.

V.

One consequence of Mr. Bloom’s putting an emphasis upon developments in postwar America is that he can make as much as he does of various sensational episodes in the Sixties, not least the much-publicized disturbances at Cornell University in which he happened to be involved as a member of its political science department.

It is odd that so much can be made of student unrest in the Sixties without saying much more than is said in Closing about the effect upon the young of the misconceived, self-destructive and perhaps unconstitutional American involvement in the Indochinese War.  It is silly to neglect a conflict which has had so unfortunate an effect in this country upon the level of patriotism, upon faith in government, and upon respect for a defensible worldwide strategy.³⁶

Also silly is any suggestion that mere self-interest moved students to oppose the draft.  This approach fails to appreciate how much the most celebrated instances of resistance to improper governmental actions in Anglo-American constitutional history have taken the form of opposition to demands upon citizens.³⁷  Who knows what would have happened to American resistance in the 1770s if the British government had given in to the American Colonists’ “self-centered” demand that they be subjected to no taxation without representation?  Be that as it may, it is hardly fitting to hear those without military experience of their own berating the young for their reluctance to fight in what seemed to them, and may well have been for us, an unjust war.

Even the “war” that Mr. Bloom does happen to know something about personally–the Cornell struggle of 1969–seems to have been considerably more complex than he makes it out to have been.  There is no indication, in Mr. Bloom’s account of the Cornell troubles, of the experiences, fears and concerns of the people, whether students or faculty, who were ranged against the position he passionately supports.  It is not appreciated, for example, that some of the more aggressive minority students may have actually believed they were defending themselves.³⁸  Nor is it appreciated how much more dangerous military service could be at that time than life during even the most troubled days on the Cornell campus–and yet Mr. Bloom is much more sympathetic toward intimidated faculty members than he is toward students disturbed at the prospect of being shipped off to Vietnam.³⁹

All this is not to deny that there was something traumatic for Mr. Bloom in his Cornell experience, so much so that he must be fierce in the way he deals with it two decades later.  His account of Cornell, which some consider the best thing in Closing, is the most obviously flawed part of the book.  Closing would be far better without its final seventy pages.  It is unfortunate when mistreatment, whether in one’s childhood or early in one’s career, cannot be risen above in one’s maturity.  Mr. Bloom may be in critical respects a soul with too much, or rather the wrong kind of, longing.⁴⁰

I had occasion to watch close-up student sit-ins and the like on several campuses in the Sixties.  I found rebellious students usually far more thoughtful, and far more restrained, than Mr. Bloom remembers them.  And I could be struck by the unwillingness or inability of many faculty members, even on the University of Chicago campus, to talk with them seriously during one crisis after another.  I recall one occasion in Chicago, after the administration and faculty had “broken” a student sit-in, informing the Dean of the College, during a chance encounter at a reception in a faculty home, how his students had understood the issues.  They have been beaten, I added, and they are at this moment meeting to assess what has happened.  I then presumed to advise him that it would be an act of magnanimity, and not without use in reestablishing a proper trust between faculty and students on the campus, if their Dean would go to them and treat them in their defeat as an honorable enemy.  He would go, he told me, if I would accompany him.  We at once left the reception for the student center.  But after we entered the building, and just as we got to the door of the meeting hall, I was astonished to watch him fade away without either explanation or apology.  It was a most remarkable disappearing act–and ever after made me skeptical about faculty who proclaimed that they, but not the students, were open to rational discourse.⁴¹

Of course, the students at Cornell may have been different, but I suspect not.  I have talked at length with those in a position to know what happened there.  If, however, Cornell was as special as Mr. Bloom remembers it, one may well wonder whether it is instructive about what was (or was not) happening elsewhere in this country.  In any event, it is difficult to see, even if one accepts Mr. Bloom’s sincere account as completely reliable, that what happened there says much one way or another about modes of education.  To see it all, as Mr. Bloom seems to do, as the beginning of what happened to the universities under the Nazis is a perverse kind of wishful thinking.⁴²

VI.

It is also odd that so much can be made of student unrest in the Sixties without saying much more than is said in Closing about the effect upon the young of the Civil Rights Movement.  This too bears upon what really went on at Cornell and how the students understood the issues.

Something of Mr. Bloom’s limitations in assessing those students may be seen in what he says about what is happening these days to minority students on campuses.  He comments adversely on their self-segregation and their failure to take advantage of the opportunities offered them.  He does not seem to appreciate how deep-rooted the problems of race relations still are in this country, problems which are bound to be mirrored in campus life.⁴³

Related to his limitations here is his depreciation again and again of feminist efforts.  One can see that unfortunate attitudes about minorities and about women are as intermingled in Mr. Bloom as some ideologues believe them generally to be.  Here, as elsewhere, it seems that Mr. Bloom cannot help himself, which is an odd state of affairs in one so gifted.  This is not to deny that women are finding that the feminist cause is more complicated than they had taken it to be, perhaps even that natural differences between women and men are more critical than some had been led to believe.

Also related to all this is what Mr. Bloom has to say about rock music, which, along with what he has to say about students’ sexual relations, has aroused the greatest public interest in the book.⁴⁴  I am persuaded, after discussing Mr. Bloom’s account of music with a number of people versed in rock music, including some who do not personally care for it, that he is probably wrong in what he says about what that music is generally like and does.  The redeeming feature of his discussion is, however, that it emphatically reminds us of ancient teachings about the significance of music, and of art generally, in shaping the human soul.⁴⁵

I do not challenge the observation that students are much more caught up by overt sensuality than they were in my college generation or in the generation  before.  But, I suspect, this is not because of special influences upon the young–such as the music they listen to–, but rather because of that general relaxation of restraints which goes back to the Second World War and because of the general intensification of appeals to the sensual seen in the mass media catering to the adult world.  What I as a teenager saw among my young Air Corps comrades during the War has made subsequent student eroticism seem like child’s play by comparison.  All this is complicated by the now fashionable reading of the First Amendment which extends its protection to obscenity and other kinds of expression not anticipated by the framers of the Bill of Rights.

Various of the matters I have touched upon here are also important for raising the question of what nature means in ordering human relations.  It is easy if not even mandatory these days for intellectuals to deny the guidance of nature, especially if one overreacts (in the name either of justice or of compassion) to longstanding mistreatment by the community of racial minorities, of women, and of homosexuals.  Some conservative critics of Closing believe it does not go far enough, in that it does not extend to the claims of homosexuals the strictures it lays down against the claims of feminists and of racial militants.  But I would prefer to see Mr. Bloom become as relaxed about racial minorities and about uppity women as he commendably is about the aggressive homosexuals among us.  All three groups will need, for decades to come, respectful sympathy and informed guidance from the people who dominate public opinion, including those who control higher education.⁴⁶

VII.

Mr. Bloom’s limitations as a reporter of political movements, including of what did happen at Cornell, are suggested by his dismissal of the McCarthy Period as not having had a significant effect in the universities of this country.  And yet there is abundant testimony to the contrary, so much so that one must wonder where he was while all that was going on.⁴⁷

The interesting question here is not what was going on–for that is clear enough–but rather why Mr. Bloom should have so misapprehended things.  It seems to have something to do with his urge to make as much as he does both of his Cornell experience and of “the German connection.”  One need not deny that his Sixties were important:  after all, we are all talking about  gender, civil rights, war, and sexual relations in somewhat the way the Sixties taught us to–and that has healthy aspects as well as unhealthy.  But the McCarthy Period has also had a lasting effect, partly because the passions it ministered to and the thoughtlessness it encouraged did contribute to American involvement in Vietnam–and that, in turn, helped make some intellectuals and all too many of the young become irresponsible as citizens.

Student opinion about their teachers in the Sixties was influenced by what was remembered about how faculties had caved in to loyalty forays against the universities a decade before.  Faculties, by and large, did stand up to rampaging students in the Sixties much better than they did to governmental intimidation in the Fifties, even though the students had a better cause than did the government inquisitors.  But, then, it was considerably more dangerous for professors to resist the inquisitors.⁴⁸

One contribution that the Reagan Administration has inadvertently made to a sounder polity is to teach the country that patriotism is not enough, that common sense and a respect for constitutional processes are still needed if government is to conduct itself properly.  (The 1987 Iran-Contra revelations were particularly instructive here, especially when it became known that the covert actions resorted to had included supplying arms to the very people in Iran who were partly responsible for killing our Marines in their Beirut barracks.)  Perhaps the legacy of the McCarthy Period may finally be working itself out of our system.

It is odd that Mr. Bloom sees Justice Holmes’s “clear and present danger” test as exemplifying a “gradual movement away from rights to openness.”  That is, he does not seem to appreciate that the worst abuses during the McCarthy Period were ratified by judicial recourse to the “clear and present danger” test, not curtailed by it.⁴⁹  This is further testimony to Mr. Bloom’s limitations in his efforts to describe and assess the practices as well as the principles of the American regime both at this time and at its founding.⁵⁰

Epilogue

Various chance factors have combined to make The Closing of the American Mind soar as it has.  The immediate ground from which it took off was prepared by the Reagan Administration before the shameful Iran-Contra revelations sapped its vitality.  The book appeals in large part to a Know-Something Movement–that is, to those who “know” that there is something really wrong with the young, with racial minorities, with homosexuals, with feminists, and with the unpatriotic (especially among intellectuals).  It also appeals, and properly so, to those who have been told repeatedly, for several generations now, about the shortcomings of American higher education.

There was a golden age in American higher education when Mr. Bloom, as a fifteen-year-old, first came to the University of Chicago–but that was principally due to the presence on campuses of large numbers of older men who had served several years in a proper war and who were serious about an education.  Perhaps, indeed, nothing would contribute more to the seriousness of higher education today than the general requirement of a few years of highminded national service immediately after high school.

Be that as it may, American students in the best universities may still be better, in that they are more open to radical intellectual challenge, than their European counterparts.  It should at once be added that the universities in this country, if they are to continue to enjoy the massive public support they need to survive, have to provide many programs in addition to the finest training in the liberal arts that a relatively few can make much use of.  The best prospects for liberal education  remain in the small colleges of this country, whether standing alone or as more or less autonomous parts of universities.

Although chance has been critical in making Mr. Bloom a wealthy celebrity, it is a fate he is as much entitled to as any scholar of our generation.  He, like the great Protagoras, does work at his calling and he is known as an eloquent champion of those privileged to study with him.  I still recall the considerable pleasure he had, and that his friends shared, when he got his contract to translate the Republic.⁵¹  Indeed, I know no one among the academics with whom I have been associated for four decades now who would enjoy spending the fortune he is making as much as Mr. Bloom should and who would be less corrupted in the process.

It would give his friends considerable pleasure if he could now take his loot, invest it conservatively, and live quite comfortably ever after while taking care of his health better than he ever has, curtailing sharply his oppressively lucrative lecture schedule, and returning to a serious study, with the help of Leo Strauss, of the Bible and the Greek texts which lie at the roots of all that he properly stands for.⁵²

Notes for “In re Allan Bloom”

1.  This story is adapted from Leo Rosten, The Joys of Yiddish (New York:  McGraw-Hill, 1968), p. 173.  See, for a eulogy of the spiritual prototype for the hero of this story, George Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker:  From Shakespeare to Joyce (Athens, Ohio:  Swallow Press/Ohio University Press, 1983), pp. 270-271.

The reader is urged, as with my other publications, to begin by reading the text of this review without reference to its notes.

2.  We have here a variation upon the ancient Cretan paradox.

The full title of Mr. Bloom’s book is, The Closing of the American Mind:  How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today’s Students (New York:  Simon and Schuster, 1987).  The book is described in this fashion by the New Yorker (July 6, 1987, p. 82);

This essay, whose author is a political philosopher at the University of Chicago, argues that American universities have yielded intellectual and moral authority to the point where their students are not taught values, and are not even allowed to discover them.  Because the traditional curriculum has been eroded, undergraduates have little chance to understand the ideas that shaped the past, and the result is that they do not learn to think coherently about the present.  This process may be described, at least in part, as good intentions gone awry:

post-Second World War faculties, attempting inclusiveness, taught tolerance, drifted into a pervasive relativism, and left themselves without any intellectual foundation for moral judgment.  At present, the author finds the university compartmentalized:  science departments are enclaves of self-importance; the humanities faculties “do not believe in themselves or what they do;” and political science is “a haphazard bazaar.”  He allows his readers to decide whether the disarray of our learned institutions represents or misrepresents the condition of the wider society.

3.  See, for what can be said on behalf of Judge Bork, Anastaplo, “On the Judging of Judges:  The Bork Case,” University of Chicago Maroon, October 6, 1987, p. 21.

4.  Among the fine publications by Mr. Bloom’s former students have been meticulous translations of Greek texts:  Plato’s Laws, by Thomas L. Pangle (Free Press); Aristotle’s Politics, by Carnes Lord (University of Chicago Press); Plato’s Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, and Aristophanes’ Clouds, by Thomas G. West (Cornell University Press).  The Pangle translation of the Laws is dedicated to Mr. Bloom.

Various of Mr. Bloom’s former students like Closing because it reads the way they fondly remember him in his lecture courses.

5.  See Allan Bloom (with Harry V. Jaffa), Shakespeare’s Politics (New York:  Basic Books, 1964).  This book is dedicated by Mr. Bloom and Mr. Jaffa, “To Leo Strauss, Our Teacher.”  See Commentary, July 1987, p. 14.

6.  See Allan Bloom, trans., Plato, Republic (New York:  Basic Books, 1968).  See note 9, below.  This translation is dedicated by Mr. Bloom to his mother and father.

7.  See Allan Bloom, trans., Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, or On Education (New York:  Basic Books, 1979).  This translation is dedicated by Mr. Bloom, “To the memory of Victor Baras, My Student and Friend.”  It was anticipated by the Bloom translation, Politics and the Arts:  Rousseau’s Letter to d’Alembert (Glencoe, Ill.:  Free Press, 1960).  Closing is dedicated by Mr. Bloom, “To My Students.”

8.  See Allan David Bloom, The Political Philosophy of Isocrates (University of Chicago doctoral dissertation, 1955).

9.  See, on Leo Strauss, G. Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, pp. 250-271.  Mr Strauss is drawn upon at length in the interpretive essay in the Bloom translation of Plato’s Republic.  See note 6, above.

10.  Closing has been on the New York Times bestseller list since April 26, 1987.  It reached the top of the list on June 7, 1987, remaining there for ten weeks.  See Publishers Weekly, July 3, 1987, p. 25.

11.  See, e.g., David Rieff, “The Colonel and the Professor,” Times Literary Supplement, September 4, 1987, p. 950; Robert Paul Wolff, Book Review, Academe, September-October 1987; Martha Nussbaum, “Undemocratic Vistas,” New York Review of Books, November 5, 1987, p. 20.  See, also, Jacob Weisberg, “The Cult of Leo Strauss:  An obscure philosopher’s Washington disciples,” Newsweek, August 3, 1987, p. 61; note 29, below.

An eminent classical scholar is reported in a New York Times Magazine article on Mr. Bloom (James Atlas, “Chicago’s Grumpy Guru,” January 3, 1988, p. 25) as having “denounced” Mr. Strauss as “a bloody lunatic.”  Far more fair, as well as instructive, is the tribute paid to Leo Strauss by the same classical scholar on another occasion when the auspices were far more favorable.  Mr. Strauss could then be remembered by him as “a man of extraordinary mental power with a kind of fantasy of the intellect, creative, almost like a poet. . . .  He cared about thoughts and their life and their relations to books and to the world with a white-hot intensity.”  See Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, p. 272.

12.  There is only one reference to Mr. Strauss by name, and that is really a quotation by Mr. Strauss from Winston Churchill to the effect that “the moderns ‘built on low but solid ground.’”  Closing, p. 167.  All kinds of other people are acknowledged by Mr. Bloom in his preface, including old students, readers and typists.  Of Saul Bellow, who contributed a most helpful foreword to Closing, Mr. Bloom can say, “[He], with his special generosity, entered into my thoughts and encouraged me in paths I had never before taken.”  Closing, p. 23.  See note 15, below.

The informed reader expects Mr. Strauss finally to emerge from the survey of political philosophy in Mr. Bloom’s long chapter, “From Socrates’ Apology to Heidegger’s Rektoratsrede,” especially since it concludes with the “study of the problem of Socrates [as] the one thing most needful.”  Closing, p. 310.  If anyone emerges here, however, it is Mr. Bloom himself.  (Elsewhere it is Woody Allen.  See Closing, pp. 125, 144-146, 154, 155, 173.)  Mr. Strauss’s last public lecture at the University of Chicago, on December 1, 1967, was on “The Socratic Question.”  See Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, pp. 259-262.  The problem of Socrates was repeatedly investigated by Mr. Strauss in his studies of Aristophanes, Plato and Xenophon.

13.  Mr. Bloom took his University of Chicago doctorate with the Committee on Social Thought, an interdisciplinary body sponsored by Robert Maynard Hutchins as President of the University.  He began his teaching career at the University of Chicago in the Basic Program of Liberal Education for Adults, founded by Mr. Hutchins and Mortimer J. Adler.  Compare Closing, pp. 54, 70.  See note 51, below.

14.  See, e.g., University of Chicago Magazine, Summer 1987, p. 9 (“I’m a Hutchins enthusiast without believing that that was the only way or even perhaps the right way”); Washington Post, June 18, 1987, p. C2.  See note 51, below.  Mr. Bloom can also speak with respect of teachers such as Yves R. Simon and institutions such as St. John’s College.  See, e.g., New York Times, Education Life, August 2, 1987, p. 36.

15.  Is there not something Heidegerrian about such

self-assertiveness?  The demands of the market might also have been responsible for making so much in Closing of the supposed intellectual influences upon Mr. Bloom of celebrities that Mr. Strauss could hardly have taken seriously.  See note 12, above.

See, on Martin Heidegger, Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, pp. 269, 475.

16.  This may be related to the implicit depreciation of politics in Mr. Bloom’s approach.  “Never did I think that the university was properly ministerial to the society around it.  Rather I thought and think that society is ministerial to the university, and I bless a society that tolerates and supports an eternal childhood for some, a childhood whose playfulness can in turn be a blessing to society.”  Closing, p. 245.  Consider, also, ibid., p. 336:  “The importance of [his college] years for an American cannot be overestimated.  They are civilization’s only chance to get to him.”  Compare ibid., p. 39:  “The United States is one of the highest and most extreme achievements of the rational quest for the good life according to nature.”  See, also, ibid., p. 97  Compare note 49, below.

A depreciation of the political may be implicit as well in Mr. Bloom’s initial response to the University of Chicago campus:  “When I was fifteen years old I saw the University of Chicago for the first time and somehow sensed that I had discovered my life.  I had never before seen, or at least had not noticed, buildings that were evidently dedicated to a higher purpose, not to necessity or utility, not merely to shelter or manufacture or trade, but to something that might be an end in itself.  The Middle West was not known for the splendor of its houses of worship or its monuments to political glory.”  Closing, p. 243.  Thus, it seems, he had not appreciated the majestic aspirations of Midwestern county courthouses or the significance of Civil War and other such monuments across the land.  Particularly memorable is the rather insistent Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Mr. Bloom’s native Indianapolis.  See note 22, below.

17.  See Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, p. 259.

18.  See Closing, pp. 66, 285.  Compare ibid., pp. 274, 327.  Compare, also, Plato, Apology 28C-D, Crito 44B, Republic 516D-E; Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist:  Notes on the First Amendemnt (Dallas:  Southern Methodist University Press, 1971), p. 278; Anastaplo, Human Being and Citizen:  Essays on Virtue, Freedom and the Common Good (Chicago:  Swallow Press, 1975), p. 240, n. 32, p. 242, n. 39.

19.  “Aristotle said that man has two peaks, each accompanied by intense pleasure:  sexual intercourse and thinking.”  Closing, p. 137.

20.  See Closing, pp. 330-331; also, ibid., pp. 110-112, 162-170, 174-177.  See, as well, ibid., pp. 28, 97, 187.

21.  See Closing, pp. 271, 283.  Mr. Strauss could speak with passion of “what it means to be a son of the Jewish people–of the ‘am ‘olam–to have one’s roots deep in the oldest past and to be committed to a future beyond all future.”  Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, p. 271.  He could invoke as well, in a time of mourning, “the traditional Jewish formula:  ‘May God comfort you among the others who mourn for Zion and Jerusalem.’”  Ibid., p. 271.  Mr. Bloom’s uses of religion in Closing verge on the sentimental in some instances and on the sophisticated in others.  Neither is the proper response.  Compare, however, Closing, p. 60.

See, on the relation of revelation to reason, Anastaplo, “Church and State:  Explorations,”  19 Loyola University of Chicago Law Journal 61, 183-193 (1987).

22.  See Closing, pp. 302-303.  Goethe’s text has four stages, not only the three drawn upon here by Mr. Bloom.  It is nicely revealing that Mr. Bloom should convert the meditating Faust’s “meaning” (or “sense”) into “feeling” and that he should omit altogether “force” (or “strength”) from Faust’s inventory.  Thus, it can be said, Mr. Bloom’s depreciation of politics is instinctive, so mush so as to subvert his usual meticulousness as a translator.  See note 16, above, notes 42 and 47, below.

23.  See Closing, pp. 41, 306, 308.  Compare Gisela N. Neck, Greek Antiquity in Schiller’s Wallenstein (Chapel Hill:  University of North Carolina Press, 1985).

24.  “I must reiterate that Rousseau, Kant, Hegel and Nietzsche are thinkers of the very highest order. . . .  We must relearn what this means and also that there are others who belong in the same rank.”  Closing, p. 240.  See, also, ibid., p. 290 (“The great modern philosophers were as much philosophers as were the ancients”), 307-308, 377.

25.  Mr. Bloom refuses to dull the rhetorical impressiveness of his arguments with qualifications because he, like his stylistic master Rousseau, is more interested in leading his readers to feel the power of his positions than in protecting himself in advance from criticism.  But unlike his master, Mr. Bloom seems to believe that a people, or life itself, can be significant only in or through the study of books.  (There may be something nihilistic about this.  See the text at note 29, below.)  Compare the experience of Sparta.

Eva Brann, of St. John’s College, has prepared a review of Closing which may come to be celebrated as the best response to the book.  (It is to be published in the St. John’s Review.)  It should have a most salutary effect, not least because of its restraint.  Thus, Miss Brann observes,

The Closing of the American Mind is, I am implying, a historicist enterprise or, more fairly, next cousin to it.  Since historicism, the notion that the temporal place of a text determines its significance more than does the author’s conscious intention and that history through its movements is a real agent, is Mr. Bloom’s bete noir, that is no small charge.  But there is no getting around the fact that the book continually places and positions great names evaluatively from the outside in–of internal philosophical substance it contains very little.  Similarly it persistently sums up the spirit of the times and seeks its genealogy in intellectual movements. . . .

The title itself is revealing.  It is, to be sure, not Mr. Bloom’s choice.  He wanted the euphonious and accurate title “Souls Without Longing” (the French title is “L’Ame desarmee”).  But he condoned “The Closing of the American Mind.”  The “Closing” part is fine:  One of the most convincing chapters is the early one in which he shows how openness corrupted, which becomes the lazily tolerant path of least resistance, forecloses passionate doubting, and how the springboard of learning is vigorous prejudice.  But “the American Mind” is debased Hegelianism, and a scandal.  Americans do, happily, still have certain areas of consensus; nonetheless, they are more than one mind among them.

Further on Miss Brann makes these judgments:

The text seems to be stuffed with truth that is not the whole truth and not nothing but the truth.  Of course, it is very hard to hit all the small nails squarely on the head with so large a mallet, yet there are fine and there are coarse ways of epitomizing spheres of thought and trends of opinion.  Mr. Bloom’s often anonymous and torrential mode of presentation makes it hard to tell whether the trouble is with his accuracy or his perspective.  Moreover, he sometimes seems to present an anonymous modern opinion as though it had but to come in contact with the air to self-destruct, while his great moderns, Rousseau and Nietzsche, seem somehow to merit awed admiration for setting us on the road we are condemned for following.  Mr. Bloom’s relation especially to Rousseau is the mystery of mysteries to me.  One of the excellences of his exposition is the continuous pointing to Rousseau not just as the uncannily accurate analyst but as the brilliantly effective originator of the corruption-prone side of modernity.  (The book neglects to its detriment the complementary side, the reverence-producing splendor of modern science and mathematics).  But then why is Mr. Bloom not on record as being at least as repelled as he is fascinated by this “inverse Socrates” (298)?

Mr. Bloom’s considerable use of Tocqueville as a guide to understanding American life may reflect the influence upon Tocqueville of Rousseau.  Furthermore, Mr. Bloom has become habituated to seeing American things through European eyes.

Also instructive are the reservations in Miss Brann’s review about the theory of the relation of music to the passions that Mr. Bloom finds in Plato’s Republic.

26.  Mr. Strauss’s care in writing reflected his care in reading.  See, e.g., Leo Strauss, Persecution and the Art of Writing (Glencoe:  The Free Press, 1952).  Too much has been made both by some of Mr. Strauss’s students and by some of his critics of his discovery about how a decent deception may have on rare occasion to be resorted to by the prudent man.  See, e.g., Benjamin Barber, “The Philosopher Despot:  Allan Bloom’s elitist agenda,” Harper’s Magazine, January 1988, p. 61; Richard Rorty, “That Old-Time Philosophy:  Straussianism, Democracy, and Allan Bloom,” New Republic, April 4, 1988, p. 28.

29.  See the reviews of Closing by Harry V. Jaffa and Harry Neumann to be published in Interpretation (volume 16, 1988).  Compare the friendlier reviews to be published there by William A. Galston, Roger D. Masters, and Will Morrisey.  Some of the unfriendly reviews (see, e.g., note 11, above) have been poorly informed, if not simply unfair.

In his discussion of “Nihilism, American Style (Closing, p. 139f), Mr. Bloom seems to complain that American nihilism has not gone as far as the European original.  The “shallowness” of the United States here may reflect a certain resiliency grounded in a sounder political system than any enjoyed by Continental Europeans.  See note 25, above.

30.  Qualified support for Mr. Bloom here may be found in Strauss, Natural Right and History, pp. 1-2.

33.  Mr. Bloom’s attempts to make use of mathematics are not happy ones.  See Closing, pp. 127, 137.  See, also, note 25, above.  I suspect that he also could have made better use of Freud that he does.  See note 40, below.

United States [1919]), Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist, p. 826.

38.  See, e.g., Letter from Barbara Page, New York Times Magazine, January 24, 1988, p. 8.  Allan P. Sindler, a former Cornell colleague whom Mr. Bloom has properly praised (Closing, p. 23), prepared, in 1969 and 1971, accounts of the 1969 Cornell disturbances which are considerably more balanced than is Mr. Bloom’s.  (I have read only the manuscript versions of Mr. Sindler’s accounts.)  See note 42, below.  See, for a novel evidently drawing on some Cornell disturbances, Allison Lurie, The War Between the Taits (New York:  Random House, 1974).

39.  Consider how an unfriendly critic can comment upon such different responses:

Among Mr. Bloom’s various occasions for nostalgia is the good old Western movie, which people used to watch without a bunch of anti-racist and anti-sexist considerations spoiling their enjoyment.  Yet he also recounts an incident that deeply troubled him (and, indeed, seems to have been the point of departure for the book itself):  one day he was among a group of professors who were threatened at gunpoint by a group of “revolutionary” students.  I share his indignation, of course, yet I cannot help noticing his reluctance to profit from this unique opportunity actually to take part in a Western himself.

Tzvetan Todorov, “The Philosopher and the Everyday,” New Republic, September 14 & 21, 1987, p. 34.

I have been told, by a thoughtful woman who was a student at Cornell during the 1969 disturbances and who engaged in the marathon meetings among students then, that she and her friends had felt betrayed by those faculty members who resigned their posts and left them to cope with the radical minority on campus.  I myself believed at the time that those resignations were a mistake, but it is difficult to judge such maneuvers from a distance.  But I also recall that this did not keep me from letting it be known, as chairman of the political science department at Rosary College, that I was willing to do everything I could to help one or more of those who had resigned and who might have been in need of a temporary academic refuge.  See notes 41 and 42, below.

40.  A serious study of Mr. Bloom’s book could well begin with his considerable use of the word “longing.”  See, e.g., Closing, pp. 62, 125, 133, 134, 135, 157, 167, 169, 196, 205, 206, 243, 282, 320, 329.  See, also, notes 25 and 33, above.  (He is correct in pointing out the questionable implications of the use of such terms as “values” and “commitment.”  See, e.g., Closing, p. 194f.  But notice Mr. Strauss’s use of “commitment” in the passage quoted in note 21, above.)

The curious blending in Mr. Bloom’s soul of longing with anger may help explain his success with the national reading (or, at least, book-buying) public:  there are in Closing the vibrations of one tormented soul that resonate in others.  Gifted students can be moved by him, even to the extent of telling him things that they would not tell their other teachers.  These may include things that are not quite so but which they sense he somehow wants to hear.

41.  When students want to stop intellectual life on a campus, they usually can do so.  We probably do not want schools that are completely unresponsive to students or that are altogether invulnerable to student activity.  This is not to deny that there was periodic gross irresponsibility, if not even a kind of intermittent lunacy, on campuses during the Sixties.  But it does not help to be so dogmatic as not to recognize the serious questions that students could raise and that faculties and administrations failed to address properly.  One of the sadder aspects of the Sixties was the loss of confidence by faculties in their ability to guide students with respect to controversial matters.  See Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist, p. 409; Anastaplo, Human Being and Citizen, p. 263, n. 9; Anastaplo, “The Daring of Moderation:  Student Power and The Melian Dialogue,” 78 School Review 451 (August 1970).  See, also, note 39, above.  Compare Wayne C. Booth, Now Don’t Try to Reason With Me (Chicago:  University of Chicago Press, 1970), pp. 175, 217-223, 225, 243-261.

42.  For one thing, the Cornell students were not acting in concert with, but rather in opposition to, government policy.  Nor were they simply the mob that Mr. Bloom condemns:  there, as generally elsewhere on campuses, the extreme elements were effectively restrained by the bulk of the student body.  Compare the odd recourse by a few of Mr. Bloom’s students to passing out to the mob quotations from Plato, a tactic that he finds admirable.  See Closing, pp. 332-333.  See, also, note 39, above.

Mr. Sindler’s meticulous accounts of the Cornell disturbances (see note 38, above) is far more political than Mr. Bloom’s recollection.  I suspect that the poor judgment and cowardice displayed at Cornell by the administration and all too many faculty had little to do with the corrupting educational theories Mr. Bloom makes so much of in this context.  Administrations and faculty laboring under the same educational theories did handle themselves much better elsewhere.  See, for possible corrections of Mr. Bloom’s account (if not also of Mr. Sindler’s account), Cornell Alumni News, November 1987, pp. 28-31.

The concluding paragraph of Mr. Sindler’s 1971 account is instructive (pp. 84 and 85):

This account of how crisis came to Cornell suggests, I hope, the lengthy evolution and multidimensionality of the campus conflict, and the mix of motives and attitudes–creditable and otherwise–of the major actors.  It thus provides but a thin understanding to rest the explanation on the existence and effects of a wobbly and irresolute administration, a divided and unnerved faculty and a confused and exploitable student body.  These characterizations are accurate enough, but it was the reasons for the wobbliness, division and confusion in the face of the clearly illegitimate methods of dissent which illuminate Cornell’s difficulties and those facing many other campuses around the nation.  The malaise of higher education, the declining self-confidence of academic men, the shattered consensus on academic values and the relation of the university to society, the bias of faculty in favor of the political Left, the conversion of white racial guilt and empathy to blacks to a quite different posture of abdicating judgment and “giving blacks what they want,” the growing casuistry of liberals in condoning bad means when used by favored groups or on behalf of ends thought good–all these complex themes and more comprise the contextual set of larger reasons necessary to explain Cornell’s difficulties in reacting effectively to internal campus threats to fundamental university principles.  If liberal administrators and faculty persist in crippling their capacity to respond to these threats because of a self-inflicted paralysis of judgment and will, the verdict of one black Cornellian on the great April crisis may come to apply to higher education generally.  “Liberals . . .,” he shrewdly observed, “serv[ed] as liberalism’s pallbearers.”

Board of Education was an important step toward a humane solution of the problems of race relations in this country, but we still have a way to go.  Mike Royko, who can be hardheaded (if not even cynical) about American politics, insists that “racial discrimination . . . is the most destructive and persistent of our domestic problems.  Name any of our urban miseries–poverty, crime, unemployment, education, busing–and it boils down to race.  Add up the cost, not only in dollars, but in fear and distrust, and the bottom line is race.”  Chicago Tribune, March 23, 1988, p. 3.  See, for reservations about typical “black studies” programs, Anastaplo, “Race, Law and Civilization,” in Human Being and Citizen.

44.  It is this material that Mr. Bloom’s editors evidently insisted should be moved to the front of the book.  One risk of massive editorial revisions is the sloppiness of a poor “fit” between a book’s parts by people who do not really know what they are doing.

45.  Compare the end of note 25, above.  It is true that music is very important for the young today–but also for Mr. Bloom himself, if one is to judge from repeated reports in the press of the fabulous library of recordings that he can now own.  I doubt, however, that the pleasure he gets from all this music today matches the enjoyment he derived from the performance more than three decades ago of the joyful dirge, “There is no room for gloom in Bloom’s Republic.”  (The words, and performance at a Basic Program symposium, were by Jason Aronson and Werner Dannhauser.  The music was borrowed from My Fair Lady.  See Closing, p. 310, n. 9; note 1, above; note 51, below.)

‘Even Secretary of Education William J. Bennett, a Bloom admirer, thinks he is a little harsh on old man rock.  ‘Bloom has eloquently and forcefully dissected the failures of institutions of higher education and pointed the way toward fundamental reforms.  But Bloom and I differ on one important point:  rock ‘n’ roll.  I’m for it, though only the old-fashioned kind.’”  Deirdre Donahue, “A scholar tries to open our minds,” USA Today, July 21, 1987, p. 2D.

Some rock music is far worse than Mr. Bloom reports it.  And probably all of it suffers from being technically inferior to the great music of old.  Be that as it may, the typical teenaged response to Closing is suggested by this passage from a review in a high school newspaper:  “But to this teenaged rock listener, Professor Bloom’s arguments are just too extreme.  He writes as if rock corrupts every child in America.  His ideas about how rock relates to sex are more vulgar than any video on MTV he criticizes.”  U-High Midway (University of Chicago Laboratory Schools), September 16, 1987, p. 2.

Mr. Bloom is anticipated, in what he says not only about music but also about the epistemological errors responsible for the fallings generally of higher education, by Richard M. Weaver, Ideas Have Consequences (Chicago:  University of Chicago Press, 1948).  In Mr. Weaver’s day, however, jazz was the bete noir, not rock.  See, on Mr. Weaver, Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist, p. 822.

46.  See, e.g., Anastaplo, The Artist as Thinker, p. 477.  “It is an age of pious bullies in America, and far too many people are having far too good a time beating up on the young, the poor, the defeated.”  Rieff, “The Colonel and the Professor,” p. 960.

47.  See, e.g., Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist, p. 490; “What Is Still Wrong With George Anastaplo?  A Sequel to 366 U.S. 82 (1961),” 35 DePaul Law Review 551, 595-609, 643-647 (1986).  See, also, Ellen W. Schrecker, No Ivory Tower:  McCarthyism and the Universities (New York:  Oxford University Press, 1986), pp. 340-341 (the final paragraph of the book):

The academy did not fight McCarthyism.  It contributed to it.  The dismissals, the blacklists, and above all the almost universal acceptance of the legitimacy of what the congressional committees and other official investigators were doing conferred respectability upon the most repressive elements of the anti-Communist crusade.  In its collaboration with McCarthyism, the academic community behaved just like every other major institution in American life.  Such a discovery is demoralizing, for the nation’s colleges and universities have traditionally encouraged higher expectations.  Here, if anywhere, there should have been a rational assessment of the nature of American Communism and a refusal to overreact to the demands for its eradication.  Here, if anywhere, dissent should have found a sanctuary.  Yet it did not.  Instead, for almost a decade until the civil rights movement and the Vietnam war inspired a new wave of activism, there was no real challenge to political orthodoxy on the nation’s campuses.  The academy’s enforcement of McCarthyism had silenced an entire generation of radical intellectuals and snuffed out all meaningful opposition to the official version of the Cold War.  When, by the late fifties, the hearings and dismissals tapered off, it was not because they encountered resistance but because they were no longer necessary.  All was quiet on the academic front.

It should also be noticed that there have been times and places, since the Fifties, when pro-McCarthy academics have suffered for their opinions.  Even so, Mr. Bloom’s dismissal of the effects of McCarthyism in the universities may be still another indication of his lack of a reliable “feel” for politics.  See note 22, above.

48.  That is, professors could figure out what was in their interest, or at least what seemed to be in their immediate (however ignoble) interest.  See, e.g., Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist, p. 333.

49.  See Closing, pp. 28, 260.  See, for my discussions

of the “clear and present danger” test (including Alexander Meiklejohn’s pioneering critique of it), Anastaplo, The Constitutionalist, pp. 812, 818.

50.  It is unfortunate that Mr. Bloom, who does love his country, should lead outsiders to conclude, “The odd thing is that Bloom doesn’t seem actually to like America.  Indeed, when it comes time for him to describe anything about the place, he speaks only in what might be called that new grammatical mood invented by neo-conservatives:  the denunciative.”  Rieff, “The Colonel and the Professor,” p. 960.  Compare note 16, above.

Mr. Bloom can notice, “A Charles de Gaulle or, for that matter, an Alexander Solzhenitsyn sees the United States as a mere aggregate of individuals, a dumping ground for the refuse from other places, devoted to consuming, in short, no culture.”  Closing, p. 187.  Such an observation does call for the immediate comment that people such as de Gaulle have again and again depended upon the United States to save them from the political disasters that their supposedly superior cultures have helped produce.  See, also, Closing, p. 77.

51.  This was while a dozen of Mr. Strauss’s students, including Mr. Bloom, were teaching in the Basic Program of Liberal Education for Adults at the University of Chicago.  See notes 13 and 15, above.  See, on the Basic Program, Anastaplo, “What is a Classic?”, in The Artist as Thinker.  See, also, Anastaplo, “The Teacher as Learner:  On Discussion,” Claremont Review of Books, Summer 1985, p. 22.

It is reassuring that Mr. Bloom is not, in his critique of higher education, as original as he may seem to many of his reader to be.  That is, there are models, experiments and experiences “out there” for conscientious educators to draw upon in attempting the reforms that have long been needed.  Among the things to be considered is, of course, “the old Great Books conviction.”  See Closing, pp. 51, 344.  See, also, Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr., “Democracy and the Great Books,” New Republic, April 4, 1988, p. 33; Closing, p. 287.

52.  No doubt, it is difficult to avoid being trapped by one’s phenomenal success, by what the world comes to expect of one, by the honors and lavish rewards it seems to offer.  When that happens, the human being can be lost sight of.  The classics do teach us that whoever happens to be elevated by chance is especially vulnerable to being toppled thereby.  I have observed in the prologue to this review that we can see great success turn into a curse in Sophocles’s Oedipus Tyrannos.  In the Oedipus at Colonos we can see that the long-suffering Oedipus, of worldwide fame, virtually became a thing (to be manipulated by others) because of what had happened to him.  In his case, however, we can also see that an appalling curse somehow became a blessing.

Mr. Bloom observes that “it is always pleasant to give people gifts that please them.”  Closing, p. 69.  Proper pleasure comes from giving people the gifts that should please them.  What more can Mr. Bloom do now to please his true friends but to use, and hence preserve, both body and soul as he should?

While both are dear, it is sacred to honor truth above friendship.
–Aristotle,
Nicomachaean Ethics, 1,4

I have been asked to provide the keynote presentation for this conference on College Education Today, using Allan Bloom’s bestseller as my point of departure.  We will be talking on this occasion about what is wrong with education at this time.  Tomorrow morning we will consider together what might be done to begin to remedy the ills we see.

I understand that copies of the Bloom book have been made available to you.  The merits of the book are suggested by the description of it provided on its dust jacket:

The Closing of the American Mind is a powerful critique, by a distinguished political philosopher, of the intellectual and moral confusions of our age.

Allan Bloom, a professor of social thought at the University of Chicago and a noted translator of Plato and Rousseau, argues that the social and political crisis of twentieth-century America is really an intellectual crisis.  From the universities’ lack of purpose to their student’s lack of learning, from the jargon of liberation to the supplanting of reason by “creativity,” Bloom shows how American democracy has unwittingly played host to vulgarized Continental ideas of nihilism and despair, of relativism disguised as tolerance.

What we see today, according to Bloom, is young people who, lacking an understanding of the past and a vision of the future, live in an impoverished present.  And our universities, entrusted with their education, 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.  Higher education fails to arouse or to nurture the self-knowledge that has always been the basis for serious, humane learning.

A sweeping analysis of the intellectual currents of our century, The Closing of the American Mind is essential to an understanding of America’s spiritual malaise.

I understand as well that copies of my two public discussions of the Bloom book have also been made available to you.  One of these appeared as a review in the 1988 volume of Great Ideas Today (an Encyclopedia Britannica publication), the other was a talk given at the June 1988 annual meeting of the Canadian Council of Learned Societies.  Both of these discussions are scheduled for inclusion in a volume to be published this summer by the Chicago Review Press, Essays on The Closing of the American Mind.

I will assume on this occasion that most of you have read my  critiques of the Bloom book.  I indicate in those critiques that the book is not well written, that it is wrongheaded in several critical respects, and that it may not be in itself worth the considerable effort required to read it carefully.

Even so, it is prudent to notice at the outset that much of the criticism one encounters of this bestseller is ill-tempered and ill-informed, moved all too often by envy.  But, it should at once be added, envy can also be aroused by any review of the book which points out failings that others have been either too partisan or too careless, if not even (in certain quarters) too politic, to notice publicly.

II.

The significant thing about Professor Bloom’s book is not what he says, for that is often either mistaken or banal when it is not simply derivative from a great teacher of his who happens to be unacknowledged in the book.  Rather, the most significant thing about the book relates to the response it has evoked as a bestseller.  That it is a bestseller is due in large part to accident, as often happens in such cases.  This is not to deny that Mr. Bloom, whom I have known ever since we were graduate students at the University of Chicago, is a gifted man with intriguing perceptions about the character and failings of college students in recent decades.

Mr. Bloom is gifted as well in his ministering to what he detects to be a malaise in the land.  This malaise, which the determined optimism of the Reagan Administration merely covered over, is in part generated by a general sense of public unease, if not even resentment, about the state of education in this country.  Underlying all this may be concerns about the overall meaning and worth of our life as a people.

Are the fundamental problems here primarily “intellectual” or are they primarily “political”?  If these problems are political, and hence moral, Mr. Bloom is not likely to be of much help, not least because he knows relatively little about the United States and its institutions.  He is, in his accounts of American life, very much in the European tradition, more comfortable in Paris than in Chicago.

III.

The fact that the deeply-flawed Bloom book has been responded to as it has suggests how uncertain our grasp of reliable intellectual standards may be.  The saving element here, however, is that fashions readily rise and fall among us.  Americans go in for periodic breast-beatings, especially when they are challenged by prestigious “foreigners.”  (The book has done well in France also but not, I understand, in Germany–in France, perhaps in part because the French like to bash Americans, but not in Germany because the Germans may not like to be told that America is being corrupted by German metaphysics, albeit metaphysics in a vulgarized form.)

Mr. Bloom’s critique of American intellectual life has something to be said for it.  After all, American intellectuals, and the people they help shape, have not been able to notice properly what is faulty or inadequate in the Bloom book.  Besides, Mr. Bloom has never been stupid, however wrongheaded he may sometimes be–and so there is likely to be something to his critique.

I have indicated that the Bloom book is difficult to read, and this despite its reputation of its being well-written.  I personally have found it very hard going–and I doubt I would have made myself get through it with some care if I had not been asked to do a review of it.  Even so, I had to return to it several times in order to finish it.  It is hard to imagine that most purchasers of the book have gotten much more from it than confirmations of various prejudices they already had about college student life and about the shortcomings of academicians.

One serious danger here lies in the appeal in the Bloom book from the Academy to citizens outside with money, political influence, and votes.  All too many “readers” of the book will be tempted to support misguided efforts to take away control of the Academy from academicians.  The last such efforts of this character were during the McCarthy Period (the 1950s), which, curiously enough, Mr. Bloom does not recall as having done much damage to American higher education.

IV.

The fact that the Bloom book has been responded to as enthusiastically as it has is in large part our fault as educators.

We as educators have helped produce professional critics, as well as a public, who are not equipped to deal properly with seductive arguments.  We should not have permitted education to get into the condition it has.  Rather, we should have ourselves provided popular critiques of education which were soundly based, beginning with assessments of schools of education and what they have been doing for generations to elementary education in this country.  And, of course, we should have been able to produce authoritative critiques of the Bloom book, assigning it to its proper (and properly limited) place as a highly rhetorical memoir.

Mr. Bloom himself would have profitted from proper critiques–and even more from an anticipation of proper critiques, for this would probably have moved him to write with considerably more care than is evident in this book.  Certainly, those of his friends who had an opportunity to read his manuscript before its publication should have questioned this most impressionable of writers much more than they evidently did.

Still, it can be argued, whatever the deficiencies of the Bloom book, it has inspired conferences such as this one.  But academic conferences do take place anyway–and is it not often a matter of chance what is fashionable in any particular season?  Besides, is a temporary preoccupation with the Bloom book going to leave, for a decade or so, the illusion of sufficient compliance in all too many colleges with the continuing demand for a proper examination of liberal education?

Be all this as it may, we much now consider what the harms flowing from the Bloom book are, harms that outweigh the good done by Mr. Bloom in raising as he does the banner of liberal education.

V.

These harms can be conveniently gathered, for our immediate purposes, under three categories.

First, there are the harms that come from teaching the young, especially the more gifted among them (who include some of Mr. Bloom’s more devoted students)–from teaching the young and others the wrong lessons about what is and should be successful in the world of education.

Glamor is made to seem more important than it is, as well as connections and publicity.  The Saul Bellow-connection is itself revealing with respect to the Bloom phenomenon.  (See note 12 of my Great Ideas Today review.)  It is instructive how Mr. Bellow is spoken of by Mr. Bloom in the Closing book–and how Mr. Bellow in turn can speak of Mr. Bloom, as may be seen in the excerpt reproduced on the dust jacket of the book:

To me, this is not the book of a professor, but that of a thinker who is willing to take the risks more frequently taken by writers. . . .  It makes an important statement and deserves careful study.  What it provides, whether or not one agrees with its conclusions, is an indispensable guide for discussion, not a mere skimming of the tradition, but a completely articulated, historically accurate summary, a trustworthy resume of the development of the higher mental life in the democratic U.S.A.

I mention in passing that I have not noticed that non-academic writers are more prone to take risks than academic writers.  If anything, the non-academic writers (who are not apt to be protected by anything comparable to tenure) tend to be more cautious.

Much of the appeal of Closing depends upon its obvious sensibility–upon what there is in Mr. Bloom’s soul which “resonates” with the troubled souls of would-be intellectuals in the country at large.  (See note 40 of my Great Ideas Today review.)  But, the young are apt to be taught, however bad things are, you can still advance yourselves, using Mr. Bloom’s career as a model.  The risk here, of course, is that one becomes a caricature of oneself, with one’s “image” and one’s effect becoming more important than a careful examination of the enduring questions with which liberal education should be concerned.

One consequence of the “success” syndrome I have been diagnosing is that there tends to be a neglect of what is going on in many small colleges in this country, where teachers are interested in good books and are routinely introducing their students to them, with the students coming out as quite decent human beings with a capacity (and sometimes a desire) to learn even more.  These schools are lost sight of when the prestigious schools are made as much of as they are by Mr. Bloom.

But, it will be said, the “best schools,” which are in some ways corrupted, are shaping the future.  Are they?  Or are they being left behind?  My own, no doubt limited, experience with the smaller schools has been encouraging:  I find again and again, upon visiting one unfamiliar campus after another, pockets of teachers and administrators interested in providing their students with useful introductions to the best of Western thought.  Would it not be unduly self-centered of me to dismiss these observations as unreliable for the simple reason that these happen to be the schools which have had the good judgment to invite me to their campuses?

It should be recognized, however, that the faculties in the smaller schools are apt to lose their self-confidence, that self-confidence which it is necessary for them to have in order to continue to do the good work they do, if they should pay too much attention to the jeremiads of the New York mass media crowd and of the pundits who happen to make this or that educator into a celebrity.

It is important for college faculties everywhere to be reminded that if their students read the best books properly, the education provided them can be on its way to being as good as the best education of old.  A very good education was once provided students with far fewer resources than are available to most colleges today, a fact which is both sobering and reassuring to notice.

VI.

We have been considering the harms that come from making much of “success” in education.  I turn now to a second set of harms that can flow from the Bloom book.

The way Mr. Bloom has made his case for liberal education, working as much as he does from his traumatic and somewhat unrepresentative Cornell University experience in the Sixties, tends to identify the cause of an old-fashioned liberal education with the conservative political movement in this country.  (The Allan Bloom-William Bennett alliance here is revealing.)

The “conservative” thrust of Mr. Bloom’s approach may be seen in the virtual closing of his mind and soul to the nobility of the Civil Rights Movement and of the Vietnam War resistance among the young in the Sixties.  It is reflected as well in his evident hostility to feminist aspirations among us, aspirations which are as much entitled to respect as they are in need of firm correction.

What happens to a liberal education effort intimately linked to the conservative political movement if that movement should come to be generally repudiated as insensitive, unjust, or ineffective?  We have already seen what can happen to that movement as we have watched it, for the sake of political expediency, accommodate itself to huge national deficits, to secret arms deals with terrorists, to callous race-relations policies, and to revelations of sophisticated draft-dodging a generation ago by now-eminent political figures who were in their youth gung ho for American (but not for their personal) participation in the war in Vietnam.  (A pale reflection of these accommodations may be seen among those “conservatives” who deride the Bloom book in private even as they publicly put on a brave front in support of it as “useful.”)

I do not mean to suggest that liberals have not contributed to the tendency to identify old-fashioned education with the conservative political movements.  For one thing, liberals have foolishly permitted conservatives to take over the causes in this country of moral decency and of simple patriotism.

Still, the liberal political movement must be reckoned with, especially among the faculties in small colleges who will do much of the work needed in liberal education during the next decade.  I and others have had the repeated experience of having to assure college faculties disturbed by the Bloom book that one need not be, or appear to be, a political conservative in order to promote liberal education.

In any event, liberals as well as conservatives very much need to be challenged, instructed and refined by genuine liberal education, an education which usefully opens the mind to some things and properly closes them to other things.

VII.

We have been considering the harms that come from making much of “success” in Academia and the harms that come from identifying the cause of an old-fashioned liberal education with the contemporary conservative political movement in this country.  I turn now to a third kind of harm that can flow from the Bloom book, the harm that comes from misconceptions about what liberal education is and does.

It certainly will be no recommendation for liberal education if it should permit itself to be associated with insensitivity, vindictiveness, and meanspiritedness.  For example, what is likely to be make of liberal education if someone as inadequately trained as Tom Haydon (one of the Chicago Conspiracy Trial defendants) can now exhibit himself as more generous and more self- critical than Allan Bloom and his cohorts?  Thus, Mr. Haydon can say, in his recently-published memoirs about the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War resistance, “Our cause was both just and rational, even if all our methods were not.  Our values were decent ones, even if we could not live up to them.”  (See Reunion, p. 324.  See, also, ibid., pp. 505-506, for Mr. Haydon’s summary of the sacrifices made by young people in their radical efforts in the Sixties.  It is instructive that his account includes in its index no reference to the Cornell University disturbances, so little did they seem to him to figure in the overall struggle in which he was immersed.)

We need do no more here than touch upon the misconceptions promoted by the Bloom book about philosophical discourse and hence liberal education itself.  I have addressed this issue in some detail in my Great Ideas Today review.  You, as the faculty of a conscientious Lutheran College, are much better equipped than I am to assess one facet of Mr. Bloom’s approach–and that is what he says about the nature, and the place in education, of religion.

I have provided, in my discussions of Closing, reviews samplings of Mr. Bloom’s carelessness in drawing upon our greatest authors, a carelessness particularly distressing when exhibited by someone who has been as careful as he has been in his most helpful translations of Plato and Rousseau.  The history of ideas that Mr. Bloom provides his readers, and that he seems to depend upon, is superficial and all too often unreliable.  Thus, not enough is made by him of the grandeur, if not the awesomeness, of the influential scientific endeavors of recent centuries.  On the other hand, far too much is made by him of the supposed influence in the United States of Germans such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger, something which I believe I have discussed at sufficient length in my reviews of the Bloom book.

Such can be the harms, in their various aspects, flowing from the Bloom book.  The best corrective, in response to the book, is found in liberal education itself.  A sober citizen body led by soundly-educated men and women would confidently assign The Closing of the American Mind to its proper place, an assignment which Professor Bloom himself would in principle have to endorse.

[This Letter to the Editor of December 8, 2008, by George Anastaplo, Professor of Law, Loyola University of Chicago, was published in The Greek Star, Chicago, Illinois, December 18, 2008, p. 3. An edited version of the Letter had been published in The Chicago Tribune, December 14, 2008, sec. 1, p. 53 (under the title, “Insanity defense?”). Mr. Blagojevich was sentenced, in December 2011, to 14 years in prison.]

Considerable information was provided by the United States Attorney upon the arrest Tuesday of our Governor for what has been called “a political corruption crime spree.” That information, if substantiated, is startling, especially considering how much has been common knowledge for years now about an ongoing investigation of this public servant.

If the United States Attorney does have the evidence he claims to have, then the most sensible legal defense on behalf of our unfortunate Governor against current criminal charges may be an insanity plea. How else can one account for the obviously self-destructive course that the Governor seems to have been following for several years now?

That is, is it not likely that our Governor is much more in need of therapy than of imprisonment? It can be hoped that the United States Attorney and the courts would respond compassionately to an insanity plea by a man who (it can also be hoped) is at least sensible enough to give up his much-abused office, if he has indeed attempted to do the remarkably thoughtless things he is charged with.

Yielding to the music, you sang the Yiddish song,
Nervous palms upturned, your face the Jewish mask
Of wry resignation. “All life long
Potatoes will I get, no matter what I ask.”

I watched you stand and sway.
The old tune mocked a sigh.
You shrugged and turned away.
Your laugh dismissed reply.

I did not know you then, or that your headstrong will
Refused the mediocrity and formlessness of things.
Stories must have points, and friends among you still
Assume a grander size, be scholars, heroes, kings.

What you create, you believe,
Pygmalion without prayer.
We almost are what you conceive
As long as you are there.

But you are gone.  Your shield of half-meant talk,
With your father’s suitcase, by now has crossed the sea.
Each living room seems empty into which I walk,
Yet an echo of your voice is left behind with me.

– Sara Prince Anastaplo,
“Allan Bloom at 26″

This is my first address on the University of Chicago campus since the Yom Kippur-day death, a few months ago, of our former colleague in the Basic Program of Liberal Education for Adults, Allan Bloom.   I take this opportunity, therefore, to acknowledge our many debts to him by dedicating this lecture on modern science to his memory.

There is a perverse propriety to such a dedication, considering the subject of the last conversation that Allan Bloom and I had, which was some four years before his death.   He had beckoned me into our neighborhood barber shop when he saw me walking by.   He wanted to know what books I was carrying.   (There was always something of the curious cat about him.)  The books happened to be about modern science.   He observed, not without a little melancholy, that he had long ago given up hope of ever understanding such things.

It is obvious in Allan Bloom’s best-known book, The Closing of the American Mind, that he does not pretend to know much about modern science.   Even so, he tended to dismiss university science departments as enclaves of self-importance.   One reviewer of the Closing book, who is herself a learned classicist, protests that it “neglects to its

detriment  .  .  .  the reverence-producing splendor of modern science and mathematics.”

I recently had occasion to share recollections about Allan Bloom with our common barber.  He was, I was told, always very friendly and easy to deal with as a customer.   This did not change after he became a celebrity.   I learned that he usually came in for his haircut with someone, often a student, and that they would talk about non-stop “big things,” using “big words.”

The barber and he routinely compared notes about their respective illnesses.   One common bond, it seems, was some of the medication they had to take.   Also, they both had high cholesterol readings — but, the barber added, that did not seem to bother Allan Bloom.   Nor did he bother to curtail his legendary chain-smoking:  two cigarettes would be consumed during a haircut.

Allan Bloom’s lifelong charms are recalled when one comes upon such reminiscences as these, especially in circumstances where a polemical stance was not called for, but rather the easy grace of the great-souled man.   His contributions to liberal education remain significant, not least of which is the considerable influence he had upon the Basic Program, initially as an instructor while he was a graduate student and subsequently as a teacher of several graduate students who in turn became Basic Program instructors.

It remains to be seen how much our reservations about modern life and modern education require, for their full realization, a reliable grasp of what modern science is and does.  Do we not have to have a sound awareness of what physicists and other scientists do and the questions that they need to consider along with the rest of us?   It is only prudent, in any event, to recognize the extent to which modern science does draw upon, testify to, and perpetuate the great philosophic tradition of the West.   Perhaps there are for most of us no better foundations for our efforts to understand these matters than the reliable translations of Plato’s Republic and Rousseau’s Emile that Allan Bloom has so generously bequeathed us.

These remarks preceded a lecture by George Anastaplo, “Some Implications of Modern Physics and Astronomy,” April 18, 1993.  That lecture was in the Works of the Mind Lecture Series, The Basic Program of Liberal Education for Adults, The University of Chicago.   George Anastaplo is Professor of Law, Loyola University of Chicago, Lecturer in the Liberal Arts, The University of Chicago, and Professor Emeritus of Political Science and of Philosophy, Rosary College.  His most recent book is the American Moralist:   On Law, Ethics, and Government (Ohio University Press, 1992).

Sara Prince Anastaplo’s poem, “Allan Bloom at 26,” which was written in the late 1950s and which serves as the epigraph for these remarks, is taken from Law and Philosophy:   The Practice of Theory (John A.

I have, in my reviews of Closing, assessed the Bloom approach to texts and to issues of the day in much more detail than I can here.  Those assessments questioned his scholarship as well as his campaign⁵¹⁹ against the young with respect to the Vietnam War, race relations, and sensuality.  Whatever reservations one may have about Professor Bloom’s scholarship, however, one should recognize that he was remarkably effective in the classroom.  In addition, we have all benefitted from his translations of Plato and Rousseau and from his development of good scholars (especially those pointed by him in the direction of Leo Strauss).⁵²⁰  It is to be regretted that his collaborators were not able to help him more than they did with his defects.  The lack of resistance in some quarters may have even reinforced bad tendencies in him, not least because he could count on the mostly undiscriminating approval (at least in public) of those closest to him.

Straussians should not allow “outsiders” to believe that they do not recognize the intermittent unreliability of Mr. Bloom’s “Straussian” accounts of the great books that he undertakes to discuss.⁵²¹ One critical concern we should have is that the details of a text not be used by its interpreter to confirm or to elaborate opinions about that text and other matters previously conjured up, in place of studying an authoritative text in order to determine what one’s opinions should be. There is, about the approach to be deplored here, a perverted Straussianism. Insofar as we are guilty of this sort of thing, we are in need of good-natured but firm correction.⁵²²

One reader of Love and Friendship opens his review with these observations: “Allan Bloom’s last book is a 560-page epitaph to a scholarly life. Equal parts insight and vitriol, it reconfirms Bloom’s position as the Edmund Burke of our times.”⁵²³ My own reading of this book, limited as it has been, noticed many insights but little, if any (and certainly not “equal parts”), “vitriol.” Another reviewer suggests that, “at base, Love and Friendship masks great pain and a kind of intellectual brokenheartedness.”⁵²⁴ There may be something to this suggestion.

Still another reviewer voices criticisms of Allan Bloom that have been directed over years (mistakenly, I believe) against Leo Strauss as well:

[Allan Bloom displays] an exhilarating respect for the writers and thinkers who preceded us; and [he does] not attempt to stretch them or to force them into a Procrustean bed of modern clichés… But Bloom’s problem is that he does not sufficiently respect his own contemporaries. This is one of the most unpleasant aspects of his style. A few thinkers of our own time, such as Sartre and Buber, must content themselves with brief and disdainful remarks.⁵²⁵ Bloom seems to have flattered himself that he went into the desert alone—a strangely “modern” belief for a man who prefers all that is “ancient.”

He also has another modern weakness: his vision is skewed by a fear of boredom .What interest can be found, he wonders, in a marriage in which ex-lovers live “watching their beauties disappear slowly with age while they become bored with each other,”⁵²⁶ or in the existence of a mother who “lives in the boring details of taking care of her children”?⁵²⁷ Bloom likes to think of himself as a“Platonist,” but in fact he was more of a closet Nietzschean. Deep down he believed that whereas Plato tells us what is good, Nietzsche tells us what is true.⁵²⁸

Te most instructive review I have seen of Love and Friendship is the one published by Diana Schaub.⁵²⁹ She provides the points of departure for my remarks on the this occasion when she observes, “Despite [Allan Bloom’s] penetrating criticisms of Romanticism, and the psychological acuity he demonstrates in uncovering romantic illusions,, there is, in [him], an irrepressible, almost swooning self-identification with figures like Julien Sorel [in Stendhal’s The Red and the Black] and Emma Bovary [in Flaubert’s Madame Bovary]. Moreover, he believes that their creators identified with them as well.”⁵³⁰

It seems to me useful to consider here what is done with the Flaubert novel in Love and Friendship, especially since Flaubert is central to the seven authors listed by Mr. Bloom (with their texts) in his chapter titles. The sequence is Rousseau, Stendhal, Austen, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Shakespeare and Plato.⁵³¹

The first and last authors, Rousseau and Plato, are given by far the longest treatment.⁵³² Four of the authors are discussed in large part because they are influenced or challenged by Rousseau. I am reminded here of a comment by the scholar who published what may have been the best review of The Closing of the American Mind: “Mr. Bloom’s often anonymous and torrential mode of presentation makes it hard to tell whether the trouble is with his accuracy or his perspective. Moreover, he sometimes seems to present an anonymous modern opinion as though it had but to come in contact with the air to self-destruct, while his great moderns, Rousseau and Nietzche, seem somehow to merit awed admiration for setting us on the road we are condemned for following. Mr. Bloom’s relation especially to Rousseau is the mystery of mysteries to me.”⁵³³ One could well add here that Mr. Bloom was too receptive in his publications to the reigning interest in sexuality and not receptive enough to the marvels of modern science.

II.

            Illustrative of what is called, in the Schaub review, Mr. Bloom’s “penetrating criticism of Romanticism” and his “psychological acuity… in uncovering romantic illusions,”   is his perceptive account of the two sets of concurrent encounters involving Emma and Léon, Charles Bovary and Homais, an account  which begins in this way: “One of Flaubert’s techniques for illustrating the idle opinions of his various human types is to orchestrate conversations in which there is a counterpoint between treble and bass, in which they do not communicate at all but nevertheless make together a harmony that is a musical joke.”⁵³⁴

Also revealing of the sort of thing that Bloom can do effectively is his discussion of how Emma Bovary responds to an aristocrat’s dinner party:⁵³⁵ “Here Flaubert shows the difference between what Emma sees and what everyone else sees. Others see only a repulsive old man; Emma sees the remnant of the ancien regime and its grandeur.” One difficulty here is that the Bloom interpretation does not seem to recognize that the devastated condition of the “repulsive old man” may be related to the uninhibited life he had led. Have we not all known old men who could, because of their lifelong virtues, make a finer showing in the years of their decline than could this “remnant of the ancien regime”?⁵³⁶

Even so, these accounts by Allan Bloom are arresting and instructive. They help account for Diana Schaub’s judgment upon Love and Friendship: “Quarrels and cavils aside, one cannot but be charmed by this book.”⁵³⁷

III.

            However many charms there may be in the musical and other images of Love and Friendship, the discussion of Madame Bovary opens on a false note:

Madame Bovary is the simplest of tales, about a small-town

adulteress. One has to restore, in thought alone, of course,

something of the significance of adultery in order to see why

so much of the nineteenth-century novel was devoted to it.

Once in class I said, with a rhetorical flourish, that all

nineteenth-century novels were about adultery. A student

objected that she knew some which were not. My co-

teacher, Saul Bellow, interjected, “Well, of course, you can

have a circus without elephants.” And that’s about it.⁵³⁸

It is useful here to have a sample of the fateful collaboration of sorts between Allan Bloom and Saul Bellow, especially because Leo Strauss was out of the way.⁵³⁹

This passage in Love and Friendship is an unfortunate way to begin a discussion of Madame Bovary. For one thing, many if not even most of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century were not devoted to adultery. (Novelists such as Austen, Conrad, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Melville, Scott, and Twain readily come to mind.) Besides, is it adultery that defines Emma Bovary? What finally ruins Emma Bovary has a surprising amount to do with the prospect of financial collapse.

Why did Mr. bloom begin his discussion of Madame Bovary the way he did? In  part because he was inclined toward what he calls “rhetorical flourishes,” something with which a man of his talents and ambitions can get considerable attention. This inclination contributed both to Mr. Bloom’s accomplishments and to his difficulties, difficulties he shared with the Sophists who were also men with noteworthy accomplishments. These “rhetorical flourishes” make much of what he says unreliable, however stocked they may be with penetrating insights. Unfortunately, the Bloom approach may also give “outsiders” the wrong impression of Leo Strauss’s influence.

An undue concern for the rhetorical may be seen in expressions used by Mr. Bloom throughout the book, not least in his openness to the seamier side of things. These include expressions, appropriate perhaps for the lectures from which they may have originated, that display Allan Bloom as “with it.” Examples from the Flaubert essay include: “Rodolphe has been putting his moves on Emma”; Emma, “ever the sucker”; “the nineteenth-century prefiguration of the Visa card”; “Ain’t it the truth”; “a pecking order of vanities”.⁵⁴⁰

More serious is what is said by Mr. Bloom about marriage and religion: “Any serious reader of Madame Bovary cannot help seeing that both marriage and religion are treated with contempt.”⁵⁴¹ It is far from clear that Fraubert was as decidedly against marriage and religion as Mr. Bloom believed him to be. Indeed, many of the judgments indicated by Flaubert would not make much sense if, for example, marriage was simply contemptible. Related to this critique of Love and Friendship is the way Mr. Bloom can dismiss both the daughter and the husband of Emma Bovary. The child can be described as “her repulsive little girl.”⁵⁴² This is the way Rodolphe, and at times Emma, saw the little girl. This may also be the way Mr. Bloom (perhaps identifying himself with Emma) saw her; but I do not recall that Flaubert portrayed her thus. In fact, she is shown as rather cheerful when we last see her as a child in the family home before she is consigned to her dismal fate. Observations such as these are related to the unfortunate forms that Mr. Bloom’s anti-feminism views could sometime take.

They may be related as well to Mr. Bloom’s response in Love and Friendship to the students who proclaimed, “Great Sex is better than Great Books.” His devastating response is, “Sure, but you can’t have one without the other.”⁵⁴³ We have here still another rhetorical flourish which is highly questionable: one has only to recall the many great lovers (and others with great souls) in the Western tradition who may be in great books, but who have probably never read any of the great books.

Far more restrained, and hence more instructive, than either the Closing book or the Love and Friendship book are Allan Bloom’s essays in Shakespeare’s Politics⁵⁴⁴ and some of the older essays in Giants and Dwarfs⁵⁴⁵. In the development of his best work Allan Bloom chanced to have the advantage of being curbed by scholars such as Leo Strauss and Harry Jaffa. More recent attempts to curb him, especially when made by lesser mortals, could be risky, for he could cripple himself by cutting off all social contact with anyone who presumed to offer criticism that might have benefited him, his associates and his readers.

IV.

            Allan Bloom both identifies with Emma Bovary too much and deprecates her unduly.⁵⁴⁶ Even so, the specialness of Emma seems sometimes to elude Mr. Bloom. It is not likely that having a heroine with the limitations he emphasizes would have permitted this novel to live as it has.

Charles Bovary, for one, senses that she is special. (Even the ruthless, self-centered Rodolphe gets glimpses at times of her specialness.) It is curiously revealing of Allan Bloom’s own limitations as a critic that he dismisses Charles Bovary as he does. (Perhaps this is related to his “self-identification with” Emma Bovary.) Dr. Bovary can be referred to by Mr. Bloom as “the cloddish Charles,” as “the perfect cuckold,” as “a hapless, useless fellow,” and as “the incompetent duffer.”⁵⁴⁷ But Charles and Emma turn out to be much more alike than they had seemed at first. (This is suggested by each giving, at the end of their respective lives, a five-franc piece to a supplicant.) Emma had, unknown to herself, reshaped her husband (Flaubert can speak of Emma “corrupting him from beyond the grave”).⁵⁴⁸ Although Charle’s own romanticism emerges only after Emma’s death, the dying Emma saw him “look[ing] at her with such tenderness in his eyes as she had never seen before.”⁵⁴⁹

Although Mr. Bloom dismisses Dr. Bovary, treating him as little more than a foil for his wife’s adventures, the novel opens and virtually closes with Charles Bovary. If reports of the genesis of the novel are to be credited, it was inspired by the story of a local doctor who committed suicide because of his unfaithful wife who had poisoned herself. That is, Flaubert’s friends are said to have advised him, “Why not write the story of Delamare?”⁵⁵⁰ Flaubert himself, in one of his letters describing the novel he was writing, anticipates his account of “[his] little lady’s death and funeral and of her husband’s grief.”⁵⁵¹ Charles Bovary imitated his wife in several ways. He even surpasses her in one critical respect by doing what she sometimes wanted to do: he died of a broken heart.

Why does Mr. Bloom fail to take adequate account of Charles Bovary? Perhaps because of his presuppositions, his lack of discipline with respect to details, and his temperament. What is there that Charles, and we with him (if we are attentive), can notice and treasure about Emma? It is useful to match the dreadful poison-gulping scene at the end⁵⁵² with something that should also be memorable: the scene at the beginning which has Emma laughing as she tries to lick up the last drop of liqueur in her glass, an enchanting scene which contributes to the bewitching of the reader along with Charles Bovary.⁵⁵³

V.

            Emma got to be the way she was partly because of her reading. Her mother-in-law, at least, recognized this.⁵⁵⁴ This is an instance where what could have become a healthy, or good, sexuality is subverted by Far-from-Great Books. Curiously enough, Charles Bovary, who is definitely not a reader, has his own romanticism stimulated by reading a “book”—that is, a collection of the love letters he finds his wife to have received from her lovers. He even wants to have been one of her lovers.⁵⁵⁵

Had Emma Bovary been more thoughtful, she could have turned her husband into a usefully romantic figure. Perhaps, if thoughtful enough, she could have restrained herself from spoiling her relation with him also. But would she still have been Emma Bovary, as interesting (or exasperating) as we find her? Certainly she is supposed to be, and is for the typical reader, far more interesting than her husband or anyone else whom we get to know well in this novel. (Homais, too, is quite interesting. His perhaps-too-rapid moral disintegration at the end mirrors Emma Bovary’s collapse, although he is generally regarded as successful by the community at large.)

The career of Emma Bovary (if not also the end of Charles Bovary’s life) is anticipated by the career of Don Quixote, another adventurous soul influenced by what he reads. We can see here one of the many advantages of a “romantic” being a male rather than a female in the everyday world.⁵⁵⁶

The career of Emma was followed, in a sense, by the career of a leader treated with considerable respect by Allan Bloom in Closing:   Charles de Gaulle, a man with great illusions whom fortune treated far better than it treated Emma Bovary. He could easily have ended up on the gallows or, even worse; a laughing stock. Certainly there seems to be something distinctively French about both Emma Bovary and Charles de Gaulle.⁵⁵⁷

VI.

Although Allan Bloom does not appreciate Dr. Bovary for what he is worth, he, in concluding his essay on Madame Bovary, does notice Dr. Laivières virtues.⁵⁵⁸

But it is, in mid-nineteenth-century Europe, a time when the great ones of old are not being replicated. Thus, there are now only imitators of the outer form of Dr. Larivière, not of the real thing. Similarly, Emma can only imitate the forms of great passion. Flaubert may himself be aware of such parallels. Yet it may be a mistake to see this novel as Mr. Bloom does, when he regards it “as much the tale of a lost artist as of a lost woman.”⁵⁵⁹ Certainly, a novel may be highly artistic without being primarily about art.

It may also be a mistake to consider Madame Bovary as Mr. Bloom does, as “a plausible candidate in any contest for the greatest of all novels.”⁵⁶⁰ Henry James could see Madame Bovary as “really too small an affair.”⁵⁶¹ More important, perhaps, Emma herself, although bigger than Mr. Bloom sees her, is not big enough for the greatest novels. One cannot care as much about, say, what happens to her as one does about what happens to Anna Karenina or even to Leopold Bloom. She is hard for the reader to like for long, however sorry one can be for her at times.

VII.

            One reason why Emma is not seen and dealt with as she should be by most of those around her is that they confused the high and the low. Is there not also something of this in Mr. Bloom’s account, keeping him from appreciating the depths if not the nobility of Emma and Charles?

The merits and defects in Bloom’s reading of  Madame Bovary are, I have indicated, much like those found in The Closing of the American Mind  and in other works by him for some years now. We are reminded, at the end of Flaubert’s novel, about what confusing the high and low can do to one’s judgment when we notice the gravedigger’s mistaking as a potato thief the young Justin when he slips in and out of the cemetery to grieve at Emma’s grave.⁵⁶² A similar mistaking may be seen in how Mr. Bloom and all too many of his partisans disparaged the student opposition to our ill-conceived intervention in the Vietnam War.⁵⁶³

If I, in turn, have mistaken the high for the low in the small part of Allan Bloom’s last book that I have been able to examine on this occasion, I hope that I will be usefully corrected by those who know all of his work far better than I ever will.

534. LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP, supra note 517, at 216. Mr. Bloom’s sensitive account continues:

When Charles and Emma arrive in Yonville, they meet M. Homais

            And his young boarder, Léon Dupuis, and dine together. Charles,

            the doctor, and young Homais, the pharmacist, naturally gravitate

            to each other, while the handsome Léon and the beautiful Emma

            are moved toward each other by spiritual magnetism. While

            Homais tells Charles about the attacks of fevers, biliousness, and

            enteritis common to the country, as well as the good money to be

            made out of them, Emma and Léon find they have a common taste

            in travel. The professionals discuss temperature and the presence

            of nitrogen and hydrogen in the air, while the Romantics move

            from walks to their passion for the sea and, even better, for the

            mountains, and from there inevitably to the inspirational power

            of music, and finally to reading and feelings Art should awaken.

            At this point the two groups meet at Homais, a lover of culture,

            offers Emma the use of his personal library, stocked with the best

            authors. Dull materialism and vapid spirituality have played their

            tunes, the one with no uplift, the other with no foundation. Homais

            and Bovary have established a business relationship; Léon and

            Emma an erotic one. Ultimately one player, Léon, will join the

            other two with their calculating rationality, his higher concerns

            being but the amusement of late adolescence preparatory to

            tension-relieving sexual experience. That will leave the only true

            high-stakes player, Emma, alone at the gambling table.

535.  Id. At 213. Mr, Bloom then adds:

In a sense the others are right. This is in fact a senile old man. Emma

            is silly and inflates the world with her uncontrolled imagination.

            But Flaubert prefers her delusions to other people’s reality.

            Moreover, the ancien régime really did exist, and from full aware-

            ness of that fact comes awareness of the deepest fact of Emma’s

            time: the heroes have departed, perhaps forever. Hers are not just

            childish fantasies, but insights into the way things once were. She is

            taking a self-destructive course, but her empty longing is more

            profound than is others’ acceptance of the way things are, as though

            they had always been that way.

Id. at 213-14. This passage in Madame Bovary is commented upon as well, but with a somewhat different emphasis perhaps, in The Closing of the American Mind:

Others see only a repulsive old man, but Emma sees the ancien

            régime. Her vision is truer, for there once really was an ancien règime,

            and in it there were great lovers. The constricted present cannot teach

            it us without the longing that makes us dissatisfied with the present.

            Such longing is what [American] students most need, because the

            great remains of the tradition have grown senile in our care,

Imagination is required to restore their youth, beauty and vitality, and

then experience their inspiration.

553.     Here is that early scene:

                        In accordance with country custom, she offered him a drink. He

                        declined. She pressed him. Finally she suggested with a laugh

                        that they should take a liqueur together. She fetched a bottle of

                        curacao from the cupboard, reached down two small glasses, filled

                        one to the brim, poured the merest drop into the other and, after

                        clinking glasses, raised hers to her lips. As there was practically

                        nothing in it, she tilted her head right back to drink. With her head

                        back and her lips rounded and the skin of her neck stretched tight,

she laughed at her own vain efforts, and slid the tip of her tongue

between her fine teeth to lick, drop by drop, the bottom of the glass.

556. Here is the incipient Feminist in Emma Bovary:

She wanted a son. He should be dark and strong, and she would

                        call him George. The thought of having a male child afforded her

                        a kind of anticipatory revenge for all her past helplessness. A man,

                        at any rate, is free. He can explore the passions and the continents,

                        can surmount obstacles, reach out to the most distant joys. Whereas

                        a woman is constantly thwarted. At once inert and pliant, she had to

                        contend with both physical weakness and legal subordination. Her

                        will is like the veil on her bonnet, fastened by a single string and

                        quivering at every breeze that blows. Always there is a desire that

                        impels and a convention that restrains. The baby was born at about

                        six o’clock one Sunday morning as the sun was rising. “It’s a girl,”

                        said Charles, She turned away and fainted.

Id. at 101. Flaubert, who admired Cervantes greatly, could have agreed to a link between Emma Bovary and Don Quixote. See Levin, supra note 550; see also LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP, supra note 517 n.182; Anastaplo, Lawyers, First Principles, and Contemporary Challenges, supra note 24, at 436; Compare Anastaplo, LAW & LITERATURE AND THE BIBLE, supra  note 33, at 564 (on the exploits of Rebekah); supra Part 6; infra Part 17. In any event, Emma Bovary needed someone who, while truly caring for her, could rule her as she needed to be ruled until (if ever) her judgment matured.

557. For the respect shown by Mr. Bloom for General de Gaulle, see THE CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN MIND, supra note 518, at 159, 187, 214-15. Compare id. at 77; ESSAYS, supra note 518, at 284 n. 51.

558. Here is the appraisal of the conscientious doctor (what can be the meaning of “does not fit into the plot”?):

Lariviere does not fit into the plot of Madame Bovary, but he is not

                        to be ignored as a human possibility. Practicing virtue without

 believing in it is the decisive statement. It would not be exhaustive

but it would be revealing to say there is something of Flaubert as

artist expressed in this character. Art for its own sake is all that is left.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP, supra note 517, at 229. See MADAME BOVARY, supra note 538, at 331-32; Levin, supra note 549, at 130. Is there an existentialist cast to Mr. Bloom’s (if not also to Flaubert’s) emphasis here? See Anastaplo, THE AMERICAN MORALIST, supra note 49, at 139-60. Be that as it may, Mr. Bloom himself made good use of physicians. It is noteworthy that he could work as much and as well as he did in his last years, considering how devastated his body had long been. For the modern model in such perseverance and its limitations, see the account of Stephen Hawking in Anastaplo, LAW AND LITERATURE AND THE BIBLE, supra note 33, at 803-27.

562. Does “the young Justin” mature into Flaubert the artist? The episode drawn upon here is anticipated and then described in this fashion:

Weary though they were, Charles [Bovary] and his mother stayed

                        up talking very late [after the funeral]. They spoke of the old days

                        and the future; she would come to live at Yonville now and keep

                        house for him, they would never be parted again. She was tactful

                        and comforting, inwardly delighted at the prospect of regaining an

                        affection that had been slipping from her over so many years.

                        Midnight sounded. The village was silent as ever. Charles lay

                        awake thinking incessantly of her.

                        Rodolphe, who had been out beating the coverts all day to beguile

                        the time, slept peacefully in his mansion. Far away, Léon was

                        sleeping too.

                        There was one other who was still awake at that hour.

                        On the grave among the pines a boy knelt weeping. His chest,

                        shaken with sobs, heaved in the shadows beneath the burden of

                        a measureless sorrow that was tenderer than the moon and deeper

                        than night. Suddenly the gate creaked. It was Lestiboudois,

                        returning to fetch his spade which he had left behind a while

                        before. He recognized Justin clambering over the wall and knew

                        at last where to put his finger on the rascal who stole his potatoes.

There was, unfortunately, considerable self-deceptive, and self destructive, partisanship on all sides of the Vietnam War controversy in the United States.
