We Hold These Truths

In We Hold These Truths, Mortimer Adler distills his lifelong exploration of essential Western concepts, focusing on the foundational ideas that shaped the United States. He delves into themes such as human equality, inalienable rights, civil rights, and the pursuit of happiness, all pivotal to the Declaration of Independence. These principles underpin the nation's quest for justice, domestic tranquility, and liberty, as articulated in the Constitution. Adler's unique perspective aims to make these profound ideas accessible to all.
