Paideia Problems and Possibilities
The main purpose of Dr. Mortimer J. Adler writing this book was to answer questions that were brought to he, and his group's, attention, after the writing of the previous book, The Paideia Proposal. In this book, it is Dr. Adler's intentions to answer these questions, as well as shed more light on the subject of The Paideia Proposal.

We have recently made an exciting discovery--three years after writing the wonderfully expanded third edition of How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren made a series of thirteen 14-minute videos on the art of reading. The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost.
ReplyDeleteThree hours with Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren, lively discussing the art of reading, on one DVD. A must for libraries and classroom teaching the art of reading.
We cannot over exaggerate how instructive these programs are--we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.
