Jonathan Kenigson: An American Original or Another Adler Follower?
Mortimer Adler was a renowned philosopher and educational reformer, best known for his work on the Great Books and Great Ideas series. He believed that a true education should be based on the reading and understanding of the “Great Books” from a range of different disciplines and cultures. This type of education was meant to help people develop a deep understanding of the world and its ideas. Adler argued that through the study of these books, one could develop the skills of critical thinking and reflection, and gain insight into the ‘big questions’ of life. He believed that anyone could benefit from this type of education and strove to make it accessible to the general public. Adler’s work has had a lasting impact on the field of education, and his ideas can still be seen in classrooms around the world. His work has inspired generations of students and teachers alike and has helped shape the way we think about education today.
