This study integrates the discussion of our moral duties into the systematic framework of a transcendental theory of ...             Cartesian Meditations: An Introduction to Phenomenology3 reviews Edmund Husserl Springer, 1977 An Excellent Introduction To Phenomenology + Great Introduction This little book is an excellent introduction to Husserl's phenomenology. He outlines his idea of the intentionality of consciousness via the "transcendental ego". If Sartre had paid more attention to this, his outlook wouldn't have been so pessimistic. Caveat: This book is hard reading -- it's ...             The Republic Of Plato: Second Edition41 reviews Plato Basic Books, 1991 Great Political Theory and Philosophy + Indispensable + Correcting two reviewers + Nice Translation! + Best Literal Translation             Ecrits: The First Complete Edition in English4 reviews Jacques Lacan W.

When I go to the bookstore, though, I see an entire shelf of books for Plato, and another for Aristotle. Presocratics are separate. How to choose? Fortunately, there is this volume.

The greatness of Leibniz is undermined by the vastness of his oeuvre. It stands of no single definitive works. Like the monads that he espoused, Leibniz's writings are here, there and everywhere, each bit mirroring the whole--the universe that Leibniz envisioned.

I found this translation easier to read than other translations of Aristotle. It is much easier to unpack and follow, only the content needs to be wrestled with, which is a project in and of itself. It includes the Becker numbers, which makes it easier to have a discussion with a group.             The Consolation of Philosophy: Revised Edition (Penguin Classics)21 reviews Ancius Boethius Penguin Classics, 1999 truly consoling + Recovering from amnesia + This book changed my life. + The Last Classsical Man + A Literary and Philosophical Masterpiece             Critique of Pure Reason37 reviews Immanuel Kant Cambridge University Press, 1999 a good translation + The Issue of Translation + Poor Binding + seminal work of the greatest of philosophers             Ethics (Penguin Classics)4 reviews Benedictus de Spinoza Penguin Classics, 2005 The best translation of the "Ethics" in the english language + Unsurpassed brilliance + Spinoz's Ethics + Philosophy by a Master             A Treatise of Human Nature (Oxford Philosophical Texts)15 reviews David Hume Oxford University Press, USA, 2000 philosophy as social science + Norton Edition Outstanding Hume's `Treatise on Human Nature', the book, which, in the report of the author "fell stillborn from the press", and yet remains of continuing interest to us four centuries hence, is, among all else, the primordial exposition of a systematic psychology in the West.
