democracyrequires liberal education for all.
Two of the driving reasons behind the Great Books project were improvement of both education and democracy.
The democracy portion was likely prompted by the second Red Scare from ~1947-1957 which had profound effects on America. Published in 1952, this series would have considered it closely and it's interesting they included Marx in the thinkers at the end of the series.

— YM (@Peng1M) April 22, 2022Note the use of scare quotes around "map of content". Is it because YM doesn't take the idea seriously or because of the pseudo map nature of the diagram included?
Link to the idea that map of content is just a marketing term for something which already exists, namely a table of contents.
It's also similar to the projects idea and outlines espoused by Sönke Ahrens.
