Description
Exploring fundamental concepts that shape our daily lives, Six Great Ideas brings together six essential ideas: Truth, Goodness and Beauty, and Liberty, Equality and Justice. This thought-provoking book delves into the principles we judge by and act upon.
A seminar discussion between Mortimer J. Adler and journalist Bill Moyers was broadcast on public television, sparking a national conversation about philosophy's relevance to everyday life. Dr. Adler argues that philosophy is for everyone, not just specialists, and that understanding these core concepts is crucial for navigating the world's complex issues.
Written in an approachable style, Six Great Ideas dispels the notion that philosophy is inaccessible. Instead, it offers a clear and concise exploration of six great ideas that are at the heart of our values and principles.
