The Great Ideas
from The Great Books
Index
"... any one is capable of carrying on and articulating
what has once been well outlined..."
Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book I, Chapter 7
To show how to use The Syntopicon,
the index of topics edited by Mortimer J. Adler for
Great Books of the Western World,
we selected Happiness from
The Great Ideas, listed below.
The thousands of topics discussed in The Great Books
are organized in The Syntopicon
under The Great Ideas, 102 in number.
Each of The Great Ideas includes an
Introduction,
Outline of Topics,
References,
Cross-References, and
Additional Readings.
For further explanation, see the Editor's Notes in
Happiness.
We also include a link to Mark Whitman's on-line version of The Syntopicon's
chapter on The Great Idea of War and Peace.
