Great Ideas a Must Bookmark

The Great Ideas, led by American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler, and their companion The Great Books, offer a solid overview of the major concepts from biology, education, ethics, law, literature, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, politics, psychology, science, and theology. The reading list you'll find there covers the classics of Western literature which have shaped how we learned and what we think. It's an invaluable resource that will keep you occupied for years to come.
