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.Michel de Montaigne - The Complete Essays (Penguin Classics)Michel de Montaigne - The Complete Essays (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $14.59

Customer Review:
I didn't have to read this book for a course, but I'd heard good things about it. What can I say? I finished it but it wasn't particularly interesting and a week after I finished it I couldn't remember what any of it was about.

3.A Treatise of Human NatureA Treatise of Human Nature
from BiblioBazaar
Price: $19.99

Customer Review:
I read this book for a graduate seminar on ethics. Hume's Treatise of Human Nature along with his staunch empirical approach to epistemology, has garnered him recognition as a "great skeptic" of the rationalist tradition in philosophy and recognition as the greatest philosopher to write in English.... more info

4.Utopia: Thomas MoreUtopia: Thomas More
from Yale University Press
Price: $4.43

Customer Review:
Notes drawn mostly from this edition's great intro by Mishtooni Bose--she lectures at Oxford U. Have included some of my own impressions:
--Utopia fits definition of a classic, something that everyone discusses but few people read. More coined the term. Utopia is an ambiguous title and reflects... more info

This copy of Human All Too Human was 50 pages total and nothing like any other translation. Don't bother with this one, many others are better.

7.To Have or to Be?To Have or to Be?
from Continuum
Price: $10.70

Customer Review:
I read this book, in part, for my dissertation, which is questioning psychotherapy as a commodified practice and revealing how profiting works as a guiding force in clinical practice. Like many of Fromm's other works, To Have or To Be exposes how, in the having mode of being, our phenomongical... more info

10.Montaigne: EssaysMontaigne: Essays
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $8.20

Customer Review:
In 1580, Michel de Montaigne dedicated this "honest book" to his family and friends. It may be called an extended autobiography; but it is quite unusual in its scope as well as its candor. Having tasted the life of courtier, parliamentarian, world traveler and mayor of Bordeaux, Montaigne retreated... more info
