As Exciting and Thought-Provoking as Philosophy Gets
Hume, I and many others think, was the greatest philosopher to have written in English, and this is the book to pick up if you want to introduce yourself to Saint David's distinctive brand of classical empiricism. This is a must-read for anyone with even a passing ...

Hume at his best
David Hume was perhaps the leading light in the Empiricist movement in philosophy. Empiricism is seen in distinction from Rationalism, in that it doubts the viability of universal principles (rational or otherwise), and uses sense data as the basis of all knowledge - ...
The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics (Popular Science)
Roger Penrose
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2002
A great, great book.
I was compelled to write as I came by on the way to buying Dr. Penrose's more recent book ("Road to Reality") and was appalled that Amazon features 2 out of 3 negative views on the first page, including one which dismisses the "Emperor's new mind" as "rubbish". Surely ...

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding
John Locke
Hackett Publishing Company
, 1996
Only to Be Used in Scholarly Research
The Nidditch edition of Locke's Essay is commonly considered the authoritative version of the text. This in mind, the Nidditch text is to be avoided for the beginner to Locke. This is not due to any oversights or editorial intrusion that corrupts the work. ...

Ideal Idealism

Letters Concerning the English Nation (Oxford World's Classics)
Voltaire
Oxford University Press, USA

Good, mild introduction to a great satirist
This book is, justifiably, not as famous as _Candide_, but is still a great sample of Voltaire's thinking--and therefore a great example of Enlightenment discourse. In these letters Voltaire criticizes France by praising England, and begins to develop ideas about ...

The Question Concerning Technology, and Other Essays
Martin Heidegger
Harper Perennial
, 1982
Heidegger at his best and most relevant
The Question Concerning Technology frequently has been criticized as lacking content beneath Heidegger's stormy language. Not true! It may take more than one reading (it took me about 5), but once the meaning of the concept of Enframing really takes a hold of you, ...
