Synopsis "A Dialectic of Morals: Towards the Foundations of Political Philosophy"

""A Dialectic of Morals: Towards the Foundations of Political Philosophy"" is a philosophical book written by Mortimer J. Adler. The book explores the foundations of political philosophy by examining the dialectic between morality and politics. Adler argues that morality is the foundation of political philosophy and that political philosophy cannot be understood without taking into account the moral principles that underlie it. The book is divided into three parts: the first part examines the nature of moral principles, the second part explores the relationship between morality and politics, and the third part discusses the implications of this relationship for political philosophy. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to political philosophy for students and general readers alike. Overall, ""A Dialectic of Morals"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the foundations of political philosophy.This is a new release of the original 1941 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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.
