from Signet Classics
Price: $3.95

Customer Review:
Always heard about the man and the book but it was difficult trying to follow and understand. Gave up three quarters of the way through. Did learn a little something though.

2.[no image]Meditations
from Heritage Press

Customer Review:
I bought this a couple of years ago and my copy is full of markings and is getting quite ragged now!
I never find a situation upon which this wise man did not speak. Very nice work!
I do know a fair bit of Greek but I have still enjoyed Prof. Hays' translation. I'd recommend a copy to... more info

3.Plato: The Republic (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)Plato: The Republic (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $12.59

Customer Review:
This version of the Republic (translated by Tom Griffith) is pleasant and readable; it definitely has its moments and would probably be a good way to first encounter the dialogue. But do not use it for serious study, since the translation can be quite free and sometimes confusing. For instance, the... more info

Haidt says there are three ways to change your state of happiness: drugs, meditation and psychotherapy.

5.Aristotle s Ethics (SparkNotes Literature Guide) (SparkNotes Literature Guide)Aristotle's Ethics (SparkNotes Literature Guide) (SparkNotes Literature Guide)
from SparkNotes
Price: $5.95

Customer Review:
Although I don't think Irwin's translation of Nicomachean Ethics is the best one available, and although I am also disagree with maybe half of his interpretations in the second part of the book -which, I guess, is normal in every philosophical discussion-, I do think it's an useful tool and an... more info

6.[no image]Aristotle: Politics (Loeb Classical Library No. 264)
from Loeb Classical Library
Price: $19.20

Customer Review:
I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Politics is one of Aristotle's most prescient works that had a profound impact on our Founding fathers.
Nicomachean Ethics (EN) is part of political knowledge. Politics regulates when virtue does not. Laws are created for people who are not... more info

8.The Republic Of Plato: Second EditionThe Republic Of Plato: Second Edition
from Basic Books
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
Bloom's essay is possibly the best commentary on Plato I've read. An overly simple summary is that he suggests many of Socrates' proposals were intentionally preposterous, with the aim of leading his interlocutors to grasp that no truly legitimate political system is possible, and that the best... more info

9.The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious TraditionsThe Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions
from Knopf
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
"The position men have given to Jesus is a position of authority. It characterizes themselves. It cannot alter the eternal facts. Great is the soul, and plain. It is no flatterer, it is no follower; it never appeals from itself. It always believes in itself." Emerson, 'the Oversoul'more info

Customer Review:
I highly recommend this book. It made me want to read more of Plato's dialogues. Anyone that even slightly desires read about philosophy should at least start wih this as a primer.
