Mortimer J. Adler
(December 28, 1902 – June 28, 2001)
If there is some end of the things we do…will not knowledge of it, have a great influence on life? Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline at least, to determine what it is.
– Aristotle
Max Weismann
(June 8, 1936 – February 22, 2017)
