I recommend

1) The Republic - Plato
2) Utopia - Thomas More
3) The Prince - Machiavelli
4) The Social Contract - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
5) The Trial and Death of Socrates - Plato
6) Nicomachean Ethics - Aristotle


You will notice that there are many different publishers who publish the same book, but try to get the one by penguin classics for the good introductions.

wah most of  the book recommended is text book.

I like Plato erotic dialogue.Descartes and Kant.

Haha... They are not textbooks to me, it's about the love of knowledge and the admiration of logical thinking.
I have Critique of Pure Reason by Kant, I find it very much heavier compared to the other philosophers' writings. sweat.gif
