Ask HN: Best Philosophical Books?
recommended by 1 user | 2010 | 80 points by dbz | books | original thread |

Hello HN!

I was wondering, what are the best books which have been eye-opening or incredibly interesting about philosophy that you all have read?

Two examples of books: Common Sense (I'm reading it for school) & On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason (I've been wanting to read this)
