Time of Our Lives

Exploring the essence of a fulfilling life, Mortimer Adler questions the relationship between happiness and a "good life." He provides a framework for evaluating contemporary society against historical standards, examining how culture influences individual pursuits of fulfillment. Adler advocates for a moral and educational revolution, emphasizing the need for significant social, economic, and political reforms to address injustices. Central to his philosophy is the idea of "the ethics of common sense," which defends the individual's right to seek happiness and a meaningful existence.
