1.Machiavelli: The Prince (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)Machiavelli: The Prince (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $0.01

Customer Review:
I liked the Wootton translation (and "Introduction"), but, after comparing it with Mansfield, it seems inadequate. Leaving "virtu" as "virtue" throughout the text, as Mansfield does, seems much better than translating it according to context and then putting it in brackets, as Wootton does. Also,... more info

2.Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, And WhyDeep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, And Why
from Blackstone Audiobooks
Price: $12.57

Customer Review:
I found this an amazing map of recovery from addiction/alcoholism. Forgive me, because I know it is considered a self-inflicted thing. But similarly, many of these incidents are indeed, self-inflicted. Regardless, Gonzales describes the deep feeling of being lost and the decision to survive; an... more info

3.Common SenseCommon Sense
from BookSurge Classics
Price: $27.85

Customer Review:
This book is a classic for a reason; the man behind it is virulent in his message, and yet keeps it focused and steady on his purpose.
"Common Sense" tells what Americans these days truly do consider to be common sense, but in the times of Imperialism and vulgar displays of power, would have... more info

Price: $6.98

Customer Review:
I was browsing some books on a shelf at a local store when the title catches my eye, I had to pick it up. My boyfirend and I then spent the rest of the day reading it to each other.

5.Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in BetweenHeidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between
from Viking Adult
Price: $10.96

Customer Review:
This is a very entertaining book to put it bluntly. Philosophy can be exhausting when reading essay after essay and proof after proof, but this book relates the main ideas (which are what make philosophy interesting to most people anyways)with funny anecdotes so that while contemplating life and... more info

6.The Problems of PhilosophyThe Problems of Philosophy
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:
Though I love the book so far, I was unable to read this FQ Publishing version on my Kindle because there are obvious errors and some sentences are even reduced to garbled gibberish because of missing or added words.

7.Flatland (Shambhala Pocket Classics)Flatland (Shambhala Pocket Classics)
from Shambhala
Price: $5.95

Customer Review:
The classic "Flatland" covers many topics in surprisingly few pages. In fact, it's hard to say what the main point of the book is, if indeed there is just one. Mathematicians use the book to explain and explore the concepts of dimensionality from the perspective of a two-dimensional being; once we... more info

8.[no image]The Meditations
from Hackett Pub Co Inc
Price: $19.68

Customer Review:
What makes Meditations an important book is that it provides the opportunity to discuss what it is to be human, to have a soul, to live a good life with one of the most remarkable men in history.
Before I get to that I want to second a suggestion made by several reviewers. Use two or more... more info

10.Ayn Rand s Atlas Shrugged: A Philosophical and Literary CompanionAyn Rand's Atlas Shrugged: A Philosophical and Literary Companion
from Ashgate
Price: $15.99

Customer Review:
Regardless of how one feels about Rand's "philosophy" it is inarguable that she is a terrible, terrible writer. Her lack of skill and artistry, her bloated sentences, paragraphs and chapters make Atlas Shrugged something to be endured. If you are eighteen-year old Republican you will love it. If you... more info
