1.Common Sense (Dover Thrift Editions)Common Sense (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $0.44

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

4.[no image]Candide By Voltaire (The Bedford Series in History and Culture)
from Palgrave Macmillan

Customer Review:
The book has a certain trivial entertainment value, but anyone who thinks that it stands as a serious philosophical critique of Leibniz's "possible worlds" (as many have believed), is, how can I put this delicately, a philosophical imbecile. Kurt Gödel, humanity's greatest logician, had it... more info

5.[no image]Adam Smith (International Library of Critical Essays in the History of Philosophy)
from Ashgate Pub Ltd

Customer Review:
This is an intriguing book with some ideas that are very interesting. He uses reasoning involving human behavior that all economists should be aware of.
The difficult 18th century language is more difficult because the book is a photo copy of the original. The only thing i didn't like about the... more info

6.The New AtlantisThe New Atlantis
from Kessinger Publishing, LLC
Price: $9.96

Customer Review:
It's not what I thought it would be. It seemed to be advertised as an esoteric Rosicrucian document, but it's really just Bacon's portrait of an ideal society. It's true that society has Rosicrucian ideals, but it is mostly a politcal book.

7.Two Treatises of GovernmentTwo Treatises of Government
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $1.98

Customer Review:
The American Declaration of Independence and Revolution cannot be understood without a grounding in the writings of John Locke, particularly, in Locke's Second Treatise of Government. The American founders adopted the contract theories expounded by Locke in his Second Treatise in order to justify... more info

8.Ethics (Penguin Classics)Ethics (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $7.94

Customer Review:
Spinoza's Ethics is perhaps the first major response to the radical Cartesianism of his period. Although published posthumously (and considered a curiosity by many of Spinoza's closest friends), the Ethics quickly became the center of metaphysical and epistemological attention in Europe. Drawing... more info

9.[no image]Hobbes: Leviathan (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $45.19

Customer Review:
the essence of Hobbes critical thinking and evaluation is commendable except that the book is extremely difficult to read because it is in Old English. As a result I only read a couple of chapters that really interested me. I feel its effectiveness would be greatly increased if someone would render... more info
