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.
