| 1. |  | Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
from Macmillan Audio
Price: $24.95
Customer Review:
A pseudo-intellectual classic for people who can't handle real philosophy. I met a woman years ago who thought that metaphysics was the study of "ESP and stuff." She had just entered a graduate program in philosophy. Zen and the Art would be perfect for her. For those interested in reading real... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from HarperOne
Price: $10.92
Customer Review:
I am not deeply involved in the debate of God's existence. I, like most people I suppose, have just accepted it on common sense. I have been a little disturbed by books on both sides of the debat that make claims that cannot be supported by facts. I enjoyed this book because the unknowns that exist... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
from Audio Literature
Customer Review:
Who would want to criticise Suzuki-roshi, perhaps the best-loved figure in American Zen, or this wise, likeable book, the result of a lifetime's dedicated practice? Still it does show up the limitations of Sôtô Zen as practised in Japan, and still more when seeded overseas.more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
G.K. Chesterton continues to charm and fulfill our quest for unvarnished, plain talk reminders of right, light and the persuasiveness of beauty in truth. A classic to return to time and again for references to affirm a solid moral compass. | 4.5 / 5.0

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

from Harlan Davidson
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 | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Thus Spake Zarathustra (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $3.50
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
