(1936-1992)
Political scientist and writer, born in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Educated at the University of Chicago, he joined the Chicago liberal
arts faculty in 1955, moved on to Cornell and the University of Toronto
(1963--79), and returned to Chicago in 1979 to teach political
philosophy. He remained an obscure translator of Plato until the
publication of his Closing of the American Mind (1987), a
neoconservative polemic against what he perceived as the politicization
of academia and the decline of liberal education in the Western
tradition.
