Product details

"How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading" by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren is a comprehensive manual for improving reading skills to maximize understanding and knowledge acquisition from books. The book organizes reading into four progressive levels:

Elementary Reading: Basic understanding of vocabulary and sentences.

Inspectional Reading: Skimming and systematic superficial reading to grasp the book's structure and main ideas quickly.

Analytical Reading: Thorough reading for complete understanding by identifying the author's key arguments, terms, and structure. This level involves three stages—

Structural (what the book is about and its organization),

Interpretive (understanding the author's propositions),

Critical (judging the book fairly).

Syntopical Reading: The highest level, involving reading multiple books on the same subject, comparing perspectives, and constructing a synthesized understanding.

Key Features

Adler emphasizes that intelligent reading is an active process requiring questioning, interpreting, and critiquing to truly grasp and evaluate the material. He encourages readers to identify the genre, understand the author's purpose, and engage in self-discovery.
