| biography:
| Political scientist and writer, born in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. He studied at the University of Chicago, joined the Chicago liberal arts faculty (1955), moved on to Cornell and the University of Toronto (1963–79), and returned to Chicago (1979) to teach political philosophy. He remained an obscure translator of Plato until the publication of his Closing of the American Mind (1987), a neo-Conservative polemic against what he perceived as the politicization of academia and the decline of liberal education in the Western tradition. |
