Excerpt from Fall 2007 issue of The Midway Review, 'Allan Bloom's Closing Revisited' by Aaron Roberts

"Today, any child can flatter his hollow intellect by declaring everything to be culturally relative. But this is simply the "insight" of the lazy. It is non-philosophical and strictly dogmatic. Unwilling to confront difficult questions, they instead withdraw into their pseudo-intellectual cave. In zealously undermining all traditions of men, modern theory has created a void, which presently yearns to be filled. The truly educated and civilized strive for higher things."

This is so, so true.
