The Paideia Proposal

My final project is about the philosopher and educator, Dr. Mortimer J. Adler. I have chosen to do a blog to tell about the works and life of this man. I decided to present my project in this format, after already being into my research, which is not the appropriate way to go about completing a project. However, there were so many options that were "shuffling" through my mind, that I could not decide how I wanted to present my research findings.
After reading some of Dr. Adler's writings, I decided that a blog would be the best way to present my findings. So, for my first few posts I will have a "summary" of my findings in the first book, which I read, The Paideia Proposal. After this, I will switch the way that I present my blog entries into a format of "daily entries" (although I have already read most of the book, Paideia Problems and Possibilities). Then, for the last book,  that I have to read, The Paideia Program, I will make "daily reading entries."
I believe that this will give a various type of reading entries, which will enhance the blog substance, as well as the information that I wish to present on Dr. Mortimer Jerome Adler.

Feel free to post your contributions to the blog at any time.

Thank you,

Chad B.
