This week’s podcast continues the series on “the Great Ideas” with Mortimer Adler. As the description of the video says, “In his concluding discussion in this 5-part series, Dr. Adler deals with the significance of a liberal education in relation to labor and leisure. He points out that the most prevalent of all human ills are these two: (1) a man’s discontent with the work he does and (2) the necessity of having to kill time. Both of these can be, in part, cured by liberal education, he says. Liberal schooling prepares for a life of learning and for the leisure activities of a whole lifetime. Adult liberal education is an indispensable part of the life of leisure, which is a life of learning, according to Dr. Adler.
“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).
