JTW Podcast: The Great Ideas X, The Use of Philosophy

 This week’s podcast continues the series on “the Great Ideas” with Mortimer Adler.  As the description of the video says, “This is the first of a series of four discussions on philosophy. In it, Dr. Adler defines philosophy and discusses the relationship of philosophy to science and religion. He also answers the question whether man needs a philosophy of life and reveals his belief that philosophy is useful and, in fact, is the foundation of all learning.

“There are episodes on government, philosophy, law and labor. Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, noted philosopher and teacher, discusses these problems in an informal, nontechnical style. He makes extensive use of visual materials and a blackboard to illustrate his points. At the conclusion of each episode Adler answers questions sent in by the audience. Originally broadcast over KGO-TV, San Francisco, the series drew a heavy listener response. Appearing with Adler on the series is Dean Lloyd Luckman, coordinator of studies at San Francisco City College. This series of 52 half-hour episodes was originally recorded on kinescope.”

Of course, the one Great Idea NOT discussed in this series is the Economic Democracy Act (EDA).
