Unorthodox classics of western philosophy

The list author says:
	"An important work as it reintroduces love as a central concept in philosophical thinking.  Love and responsibility, two fundamentals often ignored by more dry, mathematically minded philosophers."

The list author says:
	"Marvellously conceived theory of the soul."

The list author says:
	"An utterly objectionable but nevertheless brilliantly written book on liberal theory.  Essential reading, even if you just want to disagree."

The list author says:
	"James writes like an angel.  Superb investigation into the empirical phenomena of religious experiences."

The list author says:
	"Better reflections on the horrors of the 20th century than any other philosophy could muster."

The list author says:
	"I first read this drunk on a train hurtling through a rainswept German landscape.  Some of the most inciteful critiques of the 20th Century, which has affected many disciplines."

The list author says:
	"Conventions govern the way we act and the way we think about the world and how we act within it.  Lewis's study has never been equalled and is still fruitful reading."

The list author says:
	"I personally find this work to be an inciteful critique of how we conceive of morality and thus is essential reading for those interested in ethics."

The list author says:
	"The best written work of philosophy ever written.  This is a book that can nourish you for the rest of your life if you let it."
