Mortimer Adler’s Great Ideas, organized by category
from The Daily Goose by Matthew
This is very interesting. I found it poking around the website for The Center for the Study of the Great Ideas. Obviously, I have made Adler’s 103 Great Ideas foundational to The Daily Goose (see sidebar for category tags). However, I hadn’t seen them organized under these category heads before. And thus my intrigue in these ideas deepens further.
