This organization, founded by Mortimer Adler to expand on the reviews done in the Syntopicon, produced several articles and full-length books that summarize the history of thought on various important ideas. Among these publications are:

• The Idea of Freedom by Mortimer Adler, 2 vols. (Doubleday, 1958–1961). This massive 1,443-page study is skillfully digested by Charles Van Doren in “The Idea of Freedom,” Parts One and Two, in The Great Ideas Today (1972), pp. 300–392, and (1973), pp. 232–300.

• The Idea of Justice by Otto Bird (Frederick A. Praeger, 1968). This book-length study is summarized in Bird’s “The Idea of Justice,” The Great Ideas Today (1974), pp. 166–209.

• The Idea of Happiness by V. J. McGill (Praeger, 1967); summarized by McGill in “The Idea of Happiness,” The Great Ideas Today (1967), pp. 272–308, and updated by Deal W. Hudson=s “Contemporary Views of Happiness,” The Great Ideas Today (1992), pp. 170–216.

• The Idea of Love by Robert G. Hazo (Praeger, 1967).

• “The Idea of Religion,” Parts One and Two, by Jonathan Edward Sullivan, O.P., in The Great Ideas Today (1977), pp. 204–276, and (1978), pp. 218–312. (An even better overview of religious frameworks, both theistic and secular, is provided by Roy Clouser’s The Myth of Religious Neutrality [rev. ed.; University of Notre Dame Press, 2005]).
