莫蒂默傑爾姆阿德勒（，）是一名美國哲學家。 生平 阿德勒於 1902 年 12 月 28 日出生在美國紐約市的一個猶太移民家庭。14 歲從中學輟學後，成為紐約太陽報的送稿人員，他當時立志想要成為一名記者 Ralph McInerny Memento Mortimer 。不久，阿德勒開始在夜間學習寫作課程，從中他發現以下作者堪稱英雄：柏拉圖、亞里斯多德、托馬斯阿奎那、約翰洛克、約翰斯圖爾特密爾等等 Mortimer Adler 19022001 The Day Philosophy Died 。之後，他進入哥倫比亞大學繼續學習，同時還向學生文藝雜誌投稿。儘管由於沒能透過必修的游泳測驗，而沒能獲得學士學位（1983 年，哥倫比亞大學授予了他一個榮譽學位以作為補償），阿德勒還是留在了大學，最終得到了一個講師的位置，並獲得了心理學博士學位。 1930 年，阿德勒前往芝加哥大學，並由之前認識的朋友、新任校長羅伯特梅納德哈欽斯安排為芝加哥大學法學院的法律哲學教授。然而他受到了芝加哥的一些哲學家的質疑，這些人對他 能否勝任哲學教授這個職責懷有重大疑問，並且抵制阿德勒成為該大學哲學系的一分子。而同時，阿德勒也是該學校法學院有史以來第一個非律師出身的教師。 西方世界偉大名著專案的發起人。 1980 年，梅耶輕鬆地問阿德勒，如果他去一個荒島，準備帶哪些書，阿德勒回答說是以下 11 本 修昔底德的《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》 5 到 6 篇柏拉圖的，《對話錄》 亞里斯多德的《倫理學 亞里士多德 倫理學》和《政治學》 希波的聖奧古斯丁的《懺悔錄》 普魯塔克的《比較列傳》 但丁的《神曲》 威廉莎士比亞的一些戲劇 蒙田的《嘗試集》 斯威夫特的《格列佛遊記》 約翰洛克的《政府論》 列夫托爾斯泰的《戰爭與和平》 名言 著作 Dialectic 1927 The Nature of Judicial Proof An Inquiry into the Logical Legal and Empirical Aspects of the Law of Evidence 1931 with Jerome Michael Diagrammatics 1932 with Maude Phelps Hutchins Crime Law and Social Science （1933 with Jerome Michael Art and Prudence A Study in Practical Philosophy 1937 What Man Has Made of Man A Study of the Consequences of Platonism and Positivism in Psychology 1937 哲學與科學 of Man A Collection of Texts as a Foundation for Ethics and Politics 1940 如何閱讀一本書（How to Read a Book） （1940）中文版 ISBN 9789570517989 A Dialectic of Morals Towards the Foundations of Political Philosophy 1941 How to Think About War and Peace 1944 教育革命 1944 with Milton Mayer The Capitalist Manifesto 1958 with Louis O Kelso ISBN 0837182107 The Idea of Freedom A Dialectical Examination of the Conceptions of Freedom 1958 The New Capitalists A Proposal to Free Economic Growth from the Slavery of Savings 1961 with Louis O Kelso The Idea of Freedom A Dialectical Examination of the Controversies about Freedom 1961 Great Ideas from the Great Books 1961 哲學的條件 Its Checkered Past Its Present Disorder and Its Future Promise 1965 The Difference of Man and the Difference It Makes 1967 The Time of Our Lives The Ethics of Common Sense 1970 The Common Sense of Politics 1971 The American Testament 1975 with William Gorman Some Questions About Language A Theory of Human Discourse and Its Objects 1976 Philosopher at Large An Intellectual Autobiography 1977 Reforming Education The Schooling of a People and Their Education Beyond Schooling 1977 edited by Geraldine Van Doren 每個人的亞里斯多德 Difficult Thought Made Easy 1978 ISBN 0684838230 How to Think About God A Guide for the 20thCentury Pagan 1980 ISBN 0020160224 六種偉大思想（Six Great Ideas TruthGoodnessBeautyLibertyEqualityJustice） 1981 ISBN 0020720203 The Angels and Us 1982 The Paideia Proposal An Educational Manifesto 1982 How to Speak How to Listen 1983 ISBN 0025005707 Paideia Problems and Possibilities A Consideration of Questions Raised by The Paideia Proposal 1983 A Vision of the Future Twelve Ideas for a Better Life and a Better Society 1984 ISBN 0025002805 The Paideia Program An Educational Syllabus 1984 with Members of the Paideia Group Ten Philosophical Mistakes 1985 ISBN 0025003305 A Guidebook to Learning For a Lifelong Pursuit of Wisdom 1986 We Hold These Truths Understanding the Ideas and Ideals of the Constitution 1987 Reforming Education The Opening of the American Mind 1988 edited by Geraldine Van Doren Intellect Mind Over Matter 1990 Truth in Religion The Plurality of Religions and the Unity of Truth 1990 Haves Without HaveNots Essays for the 21st Century on Democracy and Socialism 1991 ISBN 0025005618 Desires Right Wrong The Ethics of Enough 1991 A Second Look in the Rearview Mirror Further Autobiographical Reflections of a Philosopher At Large 1992 偉大思想：西方思想的列剋星敦 1992 Natural Theology Chance and God The Great Ideas Today 1992 The Four Dimensions of Philosophy MetaphysicalMoralObjectiveCategorical 1993 Art the Arts and the Great Ideas 1994 Adlers Philosophical Dictionary 125 Key Terms for the Philosophers Lexicon 1995 編寫 新技術：奴隸還是主人 in work with Phillip W Goetz Scholasticism and Politics 1940 西方世界偉大名著 1952 52 冊） A Syntopicon An Index to The Great Ideas 1952 2 volumes The Great Ideas Today 19611977 17 volumes with Robert Hutchins Gateway to the Great Books 1963 10 volumes with Robert Hutchins The Annals of America 1968 21 volumes Propaedia Outline of Knowledge and Guide to The New Encyclopædia Britannica 15th Edition 1974 30 volumes Great Treasury of Western Thought 1977 with Charles Van Doren The Great Ideas Today 19781999 20 冊） 西方世界偉大名著第二版（1990 年，60 冊） A Syntopicon An Index to The Great Ideas 2nd Edition 1990 2 volumes 參見 永恆主義 Liberal Arts Inc 偉大名著 西方正典 參考資料 外部連結 Center for the Study of the Great Ideas 阿德勒檔案 Amazoncom 阿德勒的 desert island books mentioned above A A A A A A Category 由猶太教改信天主教者 Category 美國政治哲學家 Category 脫離聖公宗者 Category 托馬斯主義哲學家 Category 美國反資本主義者
