The New Organon
AuthorFrancis Bacon
ISBN0521564832
Since I’ve lately read Aristotle’s original, I thought I’d go ahead and read Bacon’s New Organon. The title more or less says it all.

Psychology: The Briefer Course
AuthorWilliam James
ISBN0486416046
William James’s monumental Principles of Psychology has long been on my to-read list. But I have a nasty habit of letting books scare me; and a 1,400-page textbook from 1890 was sufficiently intimidating to make me put it off indefinitely.

To warm up to the task, I decided to read a couple...

Philosophy of Mathematics: Selected Readings
AuthorPaul Benacerraf
This is something of an introduction to the philosophy of math for me. I have read some papers and one book on the subject, but nothing covering this broad of an area. The collection is packed full of the papers that other papers cite. I do like going to the sources and this is a extremely illuminating anthology...

AuthorGeorge Boole

Irreplaceable as the horse's mouth on Boolean algebra, and there's much more to the subject than most engineers, whether of digital electronics or software, realize, and so I have to recommend it for that reason.
