Book Recommendation

Recommended Posts

For someone new to the field, Will Buckingham's "The Philosophy Book:  Big Ideas Simply Explained" is a nice intro.

For wading a tiny bit deeper, there is Bertrand Russell's classic, "The Problems of Philosophy," which brings a lot of clarity to difficult concepts.

If there's a particular branch of philosophy you are interested in, I can also suggest more specific works.

Hello, can I recommend you my own book?

Moderator Note

Your idea hasn't been discussed enough in Speculations to merit a recommendation in Book Talk, which is for mainstream science books. Please continue the conversation in your thread in Speculations.

Are you referring to Lars Svendsen's philosophical reflections?

Looks interesting.  Can you articulate some of what you found in the book, maybe give us a sense of what you think might be valuable to other readers?  I am guessing you did not read it in the original Norwegian, and so read a translated edition?
