The Great Ideas, Volume 1 by 7347184|Mortimer J. Adler book cover

πŸ“˜ The Great Ideas, Volume 1

The 2-volume "Syntopicon" of Britannica's Great Books of the Western World, providing a survey and a concordance of the Great Ideas treated in the remaining 51 volumes of the set, is itself one of the most important works of the 20th century. One of the criticisms I've read of the Great Books series is that it is little more than a "reading list" of important works of literature. That criticism might have some justification, if it were not for the Syntopicon, which orients the reader to the content of the Great Books, breaking down the entire set into its 102 component "Great Ideas"Β—the key topics addressed by Western literature as a whole since its inception.

How to think about the great ideas by 7347184|Mortimer J. Adler book cover

πŸ“˜ How to think about the great ideas

"It was Adler who first understood that there are a definite number of Great Ideas (102, later increased to 103) which form the core of the thought of Western Civilization and the keys to understanding the Great Books.". "How to Think about the Great Ideas, newly adapted from Dr. Adler's TV lectures, explores such Great Ideas as Art, Democracy, Emotion, God, Love, Truth, and Work. It can be read either as an introduction to philosophy or as a thought-provoking treatment of selected philosophical issues."--BOOK JACKET.
