Sacred and Profane Love

Episode 43: The Closing of the American Mind with Brad Carson


Listen Later

In this episode, I speak with the president of the University of Tulsa, Brad Carson, about Allen Bloom's infamous book, The Closing of the American Mind. Brad and I ultimately decide that while we like some of Bloom's key ideas about what a university is for, we do not love the book itself, which has some serious flaws (though we may differ slightly about what we think those flaws are).
As always, I hope you enjoy our conversation.
