1.The Practice of the Presence of GodThe Practice of the Presence of God
from Lotus Press
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:
I have read other versions of Brother Lawrence in the past. This one is done very well. It contains the essential perspective of this holy man.The commentary is just enough to understand the teaching of Bro. Lawrence, yet not overdone such that we lose that essential teaching. I encourage you to... more info

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

Customer Review:
While not written yesterday, this classical treatise on politics and society is still as relevant today as it has always been. Required reading on Political Science degree courses the World over, it is almost unthinkable that any serious (or even casual) student of the field would deprive themselves... more info

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

Customer Review:
The Theory of Moral Sentiments gets far too little attention. Smith's other book, The Wealth of Nations, is perhaps the most famous book on economics ever. Yet one can hardly understand the WON without also reading The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Many modern economists interpret the idea of the... more info

4.[no image]Second Treatise of Government (Crofts Classics)
from Harlan Davidson
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
This is usually the third book you read in a Political Philosophy course after "The Republic" and the "Nichomachean Ethics".
Locke comes to an understanding of "society", "government", and "property", among a number of notions central to our way of life. Doing that, he's also justifying them,... more info

5.The Social ContractThe Social Contract
from BN Publishing
Price: $6.99

When the Social Contract was published in 1762, Rousseau became a wanted man in France and Switzerland, but in 1794 after the French revolution, his remains were buried in Paris as an international hero.
In 1814, religious fundamentalists stole the remains of Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau... more info

6.Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of MoralsKant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals
from Wilder Publications
Price: $9.99

Customer Review:
Lies, lies, lies. The description for comments was, "Perfect!" Verbatim. One word.
This book was NOT perfect, in great shape, yes, but NOT perfect. There was writing all over the margins as well as a few highlighting marks, which all should have been disclosed.

7.ON THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS: A POLEMIC BY WAY OF CLARIFICATION AND SUPPLEMENT TO MY LAST BOOK BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL (WORLD S CLASSICS)ON THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS: A POLEMIC BY WAY OF CLARIFICATION AND SUPPLEMENT TO MY LAST BOOK "BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL" (WORLD'S CLASSICS)
from OXFORD PAPERBACKS

Customer Review:
This is a complex, often confusing, yet a very important book, because it gets at the bottom line of one of the thorniest conundrums ever to face man: The problem of where his morals originate. Although several books have readdressed this issue in light of new findings in psychology (Freud in his... more info

from Hackett Publishing Company
Price: $39.95

Customer Review:
There are lots of editions of Leviathan around, so why buy this one? The things the editor, Ed Curely, has done to make this edition accessible yet scholarly, like:
1. Updated spelling and punctuation. Although I personally miss Hobbes' original spelling (see the Penguin edition for that), as a... more info

9.An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (The Clarendon Edition of the Works of David Hume)An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (The Clarendon Edition of the Works of David Hume)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $47.84

Customer Review:
This review mostly concerns the Enquiry. The Letter is primarily a defense of Hume's earlier Treatise of Human Nature, while his Abstract is an anonymous review of the Treatise. It strikes me as very funny, though not surprising, that Hume would review his own work. Funny because any author would... more info

10.Common Sense (Dover Thrift Editions)Common Sense (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $2.50

Customer Review:
Thomas Paine's Common Sense did, in fact, make sense. It gave the reasoning as to why the colonies should revolt against the British Empire. Easily a favorite.
