How to Prove There Is a God includes a transcript of one of Adler's appearances on William Buckley's Firing Line TV show, Adler's revealing interview with Edward Wakin, the exchange of views on natural theology between Mortimer Adler and Owen Gingerich, arid John Cramer's el…

World Peace in Truth
The prospects for a world community and world peace are necessarily linked to a prior question concerning cultural unity. And cultural unity is itself linked to an even more basic question concerning the unity of man and the unity of truth. My conviction about the latterthe unity of man and the unity of truthis generated by three theses. The first is that the human race is a single biological species, renewed generation after generation by the re…

The time of our lives; the ethics of common sense
Is it good time to be alive? Is ours good society to be alive in? Is it possible to have good in our time? And finally, does good consist of having good time? Are happiness and a good life interchangeable? These are questions that Mortimer Adler addresses himself to. The heart of book lies in its conception of good for man, which provides standard for measuring century, society, or culture: for upon that turns meaning of each man's primary moral …

Problems for Thomists. The Problem of Species
A Dialectic of Morals—I
In St. Thomas and the Gentiles I tried to define the obligations of perennial philosophy in the twentieth century. Philosophy may be perennial, but its work changes according to the cultural conditions in which the philosopher lives and thinks. In its Greek beginnings, philosophy arose out of the dialectical efforts of Plato and Aristotle to clarify and order the welter of opinion. They struggled not only with the sophists to divide the line betw…
A Dialectic of Morals—II
TO MAKE a fresh start, let us ask about the meaning of pleasure as a criterion of preference. Precisely what does the student mean when he says that he prefers A to B because A pleases and B displeases, or because A pleases him more than B? The student may be somewhat bewildered by this question, for he has already told us that such judgments as “A pleases me more than B” are equivalent to saying “I like A more than B.” In fact, he confesses, muc…
A Dialectic of Morals—III
In the preceding sections of this essay, I have outlined a dialectical procedure whereby a doubting mind might be led to the recognition of moral truth. What has been given is the bare plot of a conversation between teacher and student. The student was, at the beginning, a skeptic about moral matters, denying the objectivity of moral knowledge, supposing that all moral judgments were a matter of opinion, entirely relative to the individual or to …

How to Think about War and Peace
Mortimer Adler writes in his introduction: In thinking about war and peace, as in thinking about other basic practical problems, the man who brings general ideas and principles to bear upon particular problems and formulations has a unique advantage. He can make effective contact with the concrete and the immediate without losing a dispassionate vision of the universal and the timeless. He can exercise that critical detachment necessary for a tho…

Doctor and Disciple
J AM not concerned with regaining the title of for the teacher. The historic process by which the honorific passed from pedagogues to physicians and surgeons, dentists and chiropodists, is probably irreversible. It is the conception of teaching itself as doctoring which interests me. I wish to appeal to the analogy between education and medicine, between teaching and healing, because I think it can help us cut through some of our contemporary bef…
