The Great Ideas: A Syntopicon of Great Books of the Western World, Band 3Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1952 - 1346 Seiten Forty-five years ago, Mortimer Adler sat down at a manual typewriter with a list of authors and a pyramid of books. Beginning with "Angel" and ending with "World," he set out to write 102 essays featuring the ideas that have collectively defined Western thought for more than twenty-five hundred years. This comprehensive volume includes pieces on topics such as "War and Peace," "Love," "God," and "Truth" that amply quote the historical sources of these ideas -- from the works of Homer to Freud, from Marcus Aurelius to Virginia Woolf. These essays evoke the sense of a lively debate among the great writers and thinkers of Western civilization. "The Great Ideas" is an essential work that draws the reader into our civilization's great conversation of great ideas. -- From product description. |
