An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
AuthorDavid Hume
ISBN1420926993
I had seen so many references to Hume's Enquiry that I almost thought I had read it; but, when I actually got around to opening the book, I found as usual that things were not quite as I had imagined. I was not surprised by his relentless scepticism, or by his insistence on basing all reasoning on empirical...
Leisure: The Basis of Culture
AuthorJosef Pieper
ISBN1890318353
One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure: the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared fifty years ago. Pieper shows that the Greeks understood and valued leisure, as did the medieval...
The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy
AuthorRobert Audi
ISBN0521637228
Widely acclaimed as the most authoritative and accessible one-volume dictionary available in English (and now with translations into Chinese, Korean, Russian, Italian, and Spanish underway) this second edition offers an even richer, more comprehensive, and more up-to-date survey of ideas and...
Fides et Ratio: On the Relationship Between Faith and Reason
AuthorJohn Paul II
ISBN0819826693
I found this to be a splendid example of the similarity between science and religion: both rest on faith statements and proceed by logical analysis. If you think science does not rest on faith statements, consider "Hume's Problem of Induction" and "Popperian Falsification."

The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods
AuthorAntonin Sertillanges
ISBN0813206464

"Evening! how little , usually, people know about making it holy and quiet, about using it to prepare for really restorative sleep! How it is wasted, polluted, misdirected."
~~ quote from The Intellectual Life by A.G. Sertillanges, O.P.


It has taken me a year to work my way through...

De Officiis (On Duties) is Cicero's last theoretical work and contains his analysis, in a Greek theoretical framework, of the political and ethical values of the Roman governing class in the late Republic.
