| 1. |  | Aristotle's Ethics (SparkNotes Literature Guide)
from SparkNotes
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
I write this to convince anyone who, like me, lived a good chunk of their life without investigating this book, that it's time to get a copy and carve out a few hours. Civilizations have ordered themselves around concepts like the "Golden Mean," that every ethical virtue involves finding a balance... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
"And you can also commit an injustice by doing nothing." -- Marcus Aurelius, from Meditations
My sister loves this book, but I was never able to get into it until I found this translation. Marcus Aurelius wrote this for his own usage - it was never intended for publication, much less being seen... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | The Republic Of Plato: Second Edition
from Basic Books

Customer Review:
Of "The Republic" I will say little; what more can be said that has not been said already? Through this book, the reader is exposed to one of the greatest intellects in history, and a variety of provocative ideas that have influenced writers and thinkers for millennia. That said, it is a challenging... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Thus Spoke Zarathustra
from Naxos Audiobooks
Price: $22.02
Customer Review:
One of the more interesting things about Nietzche is that, as a philosopher, his ideas were always changing - yet popular culture remembers him chiefly as a nihilist. It is in Thus Spoke Zarathustra that he proposes an answer to questions of meaninglessness and devaluation; The Superman. He also... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The Last Days of Socrates (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
I am probably alone in thinking that Socrates was a pompous windbag and that the citizens of Athens deserve a small award for putting and end to his tedious speeches. This book is pure propaganda suggesting that Socrates was a saintly figure martyred by the evil mob. They had concocted ridiculous... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Politics is one of Aristotle's most prescient works that had a profound impact on our Founding fathers.
Nicomachean Ethics (EN) is part of political knowledge. Politics regulates when virtue does not. Laws are created for people who are not... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Knopf
Price: $19.80
Customer Review:
"The position men have given to Jesus is a position of authority. It characterizes themselves. It cannot alter the eternal facts. Great is the soul, and plain. It is no flatterer, it is no follower; it never appeals from itself. It always believes in itself." Emerson, 'the Oversoul'more info | 4.0 / 5.0
