Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-25 00:00:00 Graham Frankel Some of the quotations that I love in this book are beauty is the intersection between truth (knowledge) and goodness (desire). Happiness on the other side, is not merely the highest good (summum bonum), but it is the totality of good (totum bonum). Lastly, there is no harm if we didn't inflict it (when he discusses on Plato's dialogues). Freedom according to Adler, is divided into three forms: 1. Inherent in human nature. 2. Associated with wisdom and moral virtue. 3. Completely dependent on favourable external circumstances. And of course he discusses a lot on this topic, touching the discourse of Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Kant, Marx and William James. All in all, this is an interesting and enjoyable work to read on though one might find it is not easy to chew some intricate discussions in it.
