Mortimer J. Adler died today in 2001. He was a bundle of contradictions & sometimes a jerk, but loved the liberal arts & humanities. #USIH
I dunno. With friends like Mr. Great Books, the humanities don't need many enemies.

I hear you,
@HeerJeet, but MJA had wider interests and better ethics than his famous 1990 melt-down over GBWW release would indicate. -
I would never promote Adler as a general hero for all,
@HeerJeet. But some of his specific efforts matter today (i.e. deep reading for all). - Show replies
