Great Ideas from the Great Books

Here in Mortimer Adler's columns is testimony that the contemporary American cares profoundly about his and his society - and about the light that the living tradition of thirty centuries of thought can throw upon the issues that confront him today. It has been said, "Great books are the books that never have to be written again." But the great ideas they explore are the birthright of every man and woman of every age. They must be constantly examined and re-examined.
