He is reading from a piece of paper and the rhythm is too fast. Not great

Fantastic

Are not angels each a genus rather than belonging to one?

When he was talking about bloom was he talking about Harold bloom?

Why do callers always gotta yap and go on tangents before they get to the damn questions? It's TV - they're limited on time per call, ffs. :D

His thought reminds me of a quote by Rilke: ua-cam.com/users/shortsdC68IkSgAbc?si=2Bi1hXY_PyftPr9P

Thanks for sharing!

That first caller was insane

Amazing

Here thanks to Thinkingwest. Had no idea about The Great Books and have been wanting a comprehensive collection of influential classics. Very interesting to hear Adler speaking on the beginnings of the assault on western ideology back in the 80's. We now see this in full swing and it has swept across all academia and institutions.

Nice Video 🌟🙏🌟

💯Thank you for sharing. Hamza Yusuf also has an amazing discussion on this book that was posted some 12 years ago on UA-cam. An absolute gem♥️💯❤🤗

Thank you for posting this!!

Thank you so much for making Feser's lectures available 🙏

I passionately love Mortimer Adler's and Robert Hutchings' efforts in producing trying to popularize The Great Books collection, and its key, "The Syntopicon." I own 3 complete sets, one of which I gave to my then-home schooled niece. Of the two I still possess, one is in the beautiful black binding which I use as "bookshelf furniture" because the set looks great and it's inspirational and a joy to behold. My other one is a "beater" set in the el-cheapo cloth binding which I bought on Craigslist for $100. That's the one I actually read, use, and annotate. That set bristles with my Post-it Notes and little sticky flags and is more valuable to me than the pristine set in my living room. Alas, many of the works are just too hard (and/or too long and boring) for most people to read more than a few pages, especially given the present state of what passes for our system of public education in the US. Most folks will go about their lives in blissful ignorance of the rich substance in the Great Books collection and its "secret sauce" -- the Syntopicon. Even in the case of those who buy a set of the GBWW, those sets all to often wind up, exactly as Robert Hutchings predicted, having them sit untouched for years on the shelf as little more than decorative furniture. By the way, another strong proponent of the idea of the classics and the great books and great ideas was the late Prof. Rufus Fears, PhD. Many of his courses are available from The Teaching Company and others appear on UA-cam. All are well worth spending time with them.

Ed Feser is a genius 🤝

What an amazing man Adler was.

I’ve always wanted this. Thanks for upload. Major student of Mortimer J Adler.

They do.

great fire side chat

Discussion without being anti-emotional

My main takeaway is that I’m smarter than Kierkegaard. Which is pretty neat.

*good vedio but ni one , comment here>*

4:23 - John who?

Very interesting... would be good to see how Adler's ideas actually look in curriculum form.

Uniquely Lovely❤

Worthwhile.

Excellent thank you.

Thank you for the uploads! Please keep the Adler content coming, kindly.

mental masturbation.

Well done. Much appreciated!

This guy pretending that god doesn't need a cause, because he really _feels_ that he wants certainty and is prepared to pretend that his own ontology of what is material vs what is essential is somehow categorically absolutely true and not a product of his current prejudices

This guy pretending that people haven't been studying and formalising systems of logic for the last 500 years.

A lovely lecture .

Again, all I’m pointing out about the deceased above is that he is a pathologically bad man, specifically a raging, covert narcissist. I have corrected his designation since I called him a malignant narcissist. His opera of commentaries nor his erudition are not what I’m attacking. Not one iota of them. It is his promotion of mind control and his unashamed and vicious use of it.

Wow, this talk was given on the exact day that I was born.

Well then eventually, he had not mentioned names, names of the people you need to kick out of office (maybe out of the country too) and names of people you aught to beg to accept to rule. He had'nt even provided a vivid discriptions of either, Which means, he provided no solutions. He knew it couldnt be solved backthen, and wisely just spoke theoritically, hinting to future generations to do it (once the opporunity comes). America was in a transition from metocracy to oligarchy backthen, and now America's democracy is giving birth to tyranny. Plato forsees all of that in The Republic

Wonderful, thank you for this.

Salvandorum, I agree with you fully,this man did spend time developing lecture or communication skills,which makes his presentation appear Shoddy.

I would agree that Mr.Scruton was a fine scholar,writer, but very hard to Listen to, in. A kind of disjointed manner that is tiring to listen to.

I had the good pleasure of taking multiple classes with Dr. Kreeft. He loved telling this story whenever we didn’t have questions. I miss him dearly since graduating.

Imagine, an interviewer asking deep questions 😮

how the world needs this wisdom right now.. thank you Sir Roger.
