</P><BLOCKQUOTE><I>"This volume is a timely response to Allan Bloom�s phenomenally successful book, </I>The Closing of the American Mind<I>. These essays are evidence that there are vigorous academic intellects in the United States committed to open, rational ideals of democracy.... Certainly, these American philosophers and the philosopher they are honoring have no intention of following Bloom into some neo-medieval monastery. This festschrift could help alert the academic community to this recidivism in its latest and subtlest form and help set straight the intellectual accounts of values and of education in this troubled period."</I>

<p>Despite the dominance of analytic philosophy in this century, traditional moral philosophy and pragmatism have continued to shape our values and inform our culture. Elizabeth Flower has been one of the leaders in maintaining the strength of this tradition. In honor of her retirement from teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, this collection of essays by eminent American writers, some former students of Flower�s, displays something of the breadth that has characterized her work as well as the unity underlying it.
