Plato Complete Works
Plato
Hackett Publishing Company, 1997
Great Collection
+ Nice for the Price
+ a must-have
I have not yet finished this book, but so far it appears to be a great collection for those interested in philosophy. The topics it covers are varying and very different from other books I have read. An example of this is that one of the "books" is a discussion of names and their relation to the ...

In the Dark Places of Wisdom
Peter Kingsley
The Golden Sufi Center, 1999
Outstanding Book!
+ In The Dark Places of Wisdom
In the Dark Places of Wisdom is one of the most insightful and well-written books I have ever read. It is a story of historical intrigue backed by tangible artifacts told in a fast paced, yet surprisingly soft and mystical light. I couldn't put it down.
Some of the western hypnotized reviewers ...

The Enneads: Abridged Edition (Penguin Classics)
Plotinus
Penguin Classics, 1991
What Can I Say? Is There Another?
+ This is an important book because-
+ Excelent
On one hand, it's pointless reviewing this Penguin edition, because the only translation of Plotinus that is generally available and widely quoted is Stephen Mackenna's legendary, rhapsodic life-work presented here. This abridgement is still lengthy (500+ pages) and probably more of Plotinus than ...

The Essential Transcendentalists
Richard G. Geldard
Tarcher, 2005
Why I'm Reading This Book.
+ An appetizer preparing us for a main course
Early east coast settlements in America brought to the new frontier a basic fear and distrust of nature, not really a healthy attitude for a young nation with a whole continent of conquest ahead of it. Thus the Salem witch craft trials, and further extremes of puritanism that must have perturbed ...

Franklin Merrell-Wolff's Experience and Philosophy
Franklin Merrell-Wolff
State University of New York Press, 1994
Utterly clear, extraordinarily profound
+ The Meaning of Transcendence
+ Unique and remarkable!
I found "The Philosophy of Consciousness Without an Object," one of the two books making up this volume, by chance a few years ago. Dr. Wolff is like pure gold. He provides independent confirmation and explication of mystical experience outside of religious traditions. To existing reviews I just ...
