ENGAGE IN THE PURSUIT OF IDEAS
Mortimer Adler has taught us that we are all philosophers. We all think-well or sloppily, enthusiastically or inattentively. The slightest sense perception- a falling leaf, a twinkling star, a smiling child- awakens our minds as well as arousing our feelings, and forces us to ask: Why? What? Whence? Whither? ''If there is some end of 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, Aristole. Every art and every inquiry and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim, Aristole. Our world, Our time, Our challenge, Together we gonna make it better than we found. God Bless us!
