This week’s podcast continues the series on “the Great Ideas” with Mortimer Adler. As the description of the video says, “In the concluding program in the series [for the first section, anyway], Dr. Adler deals with the present state of philosophy in the world and its future. In this connection he discusses the aims and work of the Institute for Philosophical Research in San Francisco.
“The Great Ideas is a series devoted to discussions on the "basic ideas fundamental to man's everyday life." 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).
