Synopsis "aristotle for everybody,difficult thought made easy"

Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.) taught logic to Alexander the Great and, by virtue of his philosophical works, to every philosopher since, from Marcus Aurelius, to Thomas Aquinas, to Mortimer J. Adler. Now Adler instructs the world in the uncommon common sense of Aristotelian logic, presenting Aristotle's understandings in a current, delightfully lucid way. He brings Aristotle's work to an everyday level. By encouraging readers to think philosophically, Adler offers us a unique path to personal insights and understanding of intangibles, such as the difference between wants and needs, the proper way to pursue happiness, and the right plan for a good life.

Mortimer J. Adler (1902-2001) was an American philosopher, educator, and editor, noted for his work in promoting liberal education and the study of the great classics of philosophy. He earned his PhD in philosophy from Columbia University in 1928 and taught jurisprudence at the University of Chicago starting in 1930. Along with Robert M. Hutchins, he edited the series Great Books of the Western World in 1952.

Among his most influential works are How to Read a Book (1940), How to Think About God (1980), and Six Great Ideas (1981), all within the realm of philosophy and education. For his contributions to thought and education, he received the National Humanities Medal in 1976 and the Charles Frankel Prize in 1990.
