The ArT of livingThe Classical Manual on virtue, happiness, and effectivenessEpictetus A New Interpretation by Sharon Lebell

Epictetus, the father of Stoic philosophy, believed that human beings cannot control life—only their responses to it. With an inspired updating by Sharon Lebell, the ninety-three witty, wise, and razor-sharp instructions in The Art of Living help readers learn to meet the challenges of everyday life successfully and to face life’s inevitable losses and disappointments with grace.

“A rational, measured counterpoint to turbulent times.”—Los Angeles Times

“[Lebell] presents a new interpretation in lively, accessible language.”—USA Today

A MAnuAl for livingEpictetusA New Interpretation by Sharon Lebell

Former Roman slave and great Stoic philosopher Epictetus spent his life outlining the path to happiness, fulfillment, and tranquility. In aphorisms of stunning insight and simplicity, he emphasized progress rather than perfection and a day-by-day, down-to-earth life of virtue.

The greek PhilosoPhers from Thales to Aristotle W. K. C. Guthrie

“Admirably fulfills its aim of explaining the development of Greek thought and Greek ways of thinking to the reader or student, who, while lacking knowledge of Greek, yet wants to learn something about the philosophers whose ideas have coloured and influenced European culture.”—The Times Literary

Supplement (London)

“The student who reads the work carefully will obtain a clear coherent and balanced idea of the earlier cosmologies, of the humanistic reaction in the second half of the fifth century B.C., and of the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle.”—Frederick C Copleston, The Tablet (London) Harper Perennial: 176 pp. 1960: 978-0-06-131008-9 pb, $13.00 ($20.00 CAN)

The sPiriTuAl TeAChings of MArCus Aurelius Mark Forstater Written as a personal diary for spiritual development, Marcus Aurelius’s “meditations” were not meant for publication nor posterity, yet the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher has provided inspiration and guidance for more than eighteen centuries. Now, after nearly 2,000 years, Mark Forstater has adapted the ideas and principles relevant to the Roman world of the second century and has made them accessible to the 21st-century reader.

Immanuel Kant

religion WiThin The liMiTs of reAson AloneTranslated with an Introduction and Notes by Theodore M. Greene and Hoyt H. Hudson

A work of major importance in the history of

Western religious thought, Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone represents the great philosopher Immanuel Kant’s attempt to spell out the form and content of a type of religion grounded in moral reason that meets the needs of an ethical life. His strictly rational approach was considered so scandalous that the King of Prussia forbid him to teach or write further on religious subjects, which Kant obeyed until the king’s death.

“Indispensable to students of ethics, important for theologians, and significant for all who are concerned about the human condition.” —H. Richard Niebuhr

groundWork of The MeTAPhysiCs of MorAlsTranslated and Analysed by H. J. Paton

“Clearly the finest single-volume introduction to Kant’s ethics available in English. . . . The actual translation is preceded in the book by forty pages of analysis and is followed by ten pages of careful notes. Both the analysis and the notes have an essentially similar function. They are bridges between the text of the Groundwork and the wider contexts in terms of which the text is to be understood. . . . Paton has organized and presented these materials with maximum effectiveness.”—Philosophical Review

Ralph Waldo Emerson

eMerson’s essAysfirst & second series Complete in one volumeIntroduction by Irwin Edman

A must for students of American philosophy, culture, and literature, this collection of the complete First and Second Series of essays contains the most important writing by America’s most popular sage. Self-reliance, heroism, intellect, art, character, nature, and politics are just a few of the topics this vigorous thinker examined, whose writings left its stamp on not only such writers as Thoreau, Whitman, and Emily Dickinson, but also on the American character at large.

Henry David Thoreau

WAlden large PrintIn 1845, Henry David Thoreau lived in a cabin owned by his friend and mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, on Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts, for two years, two months, and two days. The experience inspired Thoreau to make keen observations on the world around him. The result became an American classic: Walden explores not only the soul of the searching Thoreau, but defines what it means to be a truly free person and distills the essence of human beings’ relationship with nature.HarperLuxe: 400 pp. 2000 978-0-06-095572-4 large print, $22.00 ($28.50 CAN)

WAlkingA little Book of WisdomWalking is a meandering ode to the simple act and accomplished art of taking a walk. Profound and humorous, companionable and curmudeonly, America’s first nature writer provides a personal and portable guide to the

activity that can—like no other—awaken the senses and the soul to the “absolute freedom and wildness” of nature. HarperOne: 96 pp. 1994 978-0-06-251113-3 pb, $9.95 ($10.50 CAN)

The ThoreAu you don’T knoWWhat the Prophet of environmentalism really MeantRobert SullivanThoreau is ordinarily thought of as ornery, anti-social, solitary, and humorless. He was, afterall, the guy with the shack out in the woods, who worshipped solemnly in the quiet church of nature. Here, Robert Sullivan presents the Thoreau people don’t know: the activist, organizer, the guy who threw a yearly watermelon party for everyone in Concord and who liked to go camping and hiking with friends (even if they sometimes accidentally burned the woods down). He also reveals perhaps the most startling Thoreau, the one who, when he read from his work in nearby Worchester, MA, caused the crowd, in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words, “to laugh till they cried.” Sullivan shows us not a lonely eccentric but a man in his growing village, a man who danced and sang and who worked throughout his short life at the family pencil-making business. Sullivan argues that getting to know this other Thoreau causes a rethinking of how everything from nature and green living to history and politics is thought of.Collins: 256 pp.; index. 2009 978-0-06-171031-5 hc, $25.95 ($27.95 CAN.)

Søren Kierkegaard

PresenT AgeTranslated by Alexander Dru Introduction by Walter Kaufmann “Those who would know Kierkegaard, the intensely religious humorist, the irrepressibly witty critic of his age and ours, can do no better than to begin with this book.

[In it] we find the heart of Kierkagaard. . . . He [does not] merely challenge our existence; he also questions some ideas that had become well entrenched in his time and that are even more characteristic of the present age. Kierkegaard insists, for example, that Christianity was from the start essentially authoritarian. . . . Indeed, though Kierkegaard was, and wished to be, an individual, and even said that on his tombstone he would like no other epitaph than ‘That Individual,’ his protest against his age was centered in his lament over the loss of authority.”—Walter Kaufman, in the Introduction

PuriTy of heArT is To Will one ThingTranslated by Douglas V. Steere

One of Kierkegaard’s most accessible works, Purity of Heart takes a deep look into human motivations in life and faith, providing the “equivalent of shock therapy” (Chad Walsh, The Living Church).

“To read this book with care is to know oneself pursued by ‘The Hound of Heaven.’ Purity

of Heart is one of the many books in which Kierkegaard sought to rescue the individual from ‘massification’ by compelling him to stand alone before God.” —Howard A. Johnson, The Review of Religion

Works of lovesome Christian reflections in the form of discourses Translated by Howard and Edna Hong Preface by Ronald Gregor Smith

“His single greatest work on Christian ethics.”—Douglas V. Steere

“Socratic Christian or Christian Socrates, Kierkegaard has in this work come closer than anywhere else to an authentic non-pseudonymous picture of his faith—and of himself in his inmost soul. Read Works of

Love first; read all his other writings; finally, read Works of Love.”—Donald H. Rhoades, Interpretation

This landmark work elucidates the views and insights of two great thinkers—both of whom are controversial in their own right and vital to the history of modern philosophy. Nietzsche, Volumes 3 and 4 contains “The Will to Power as Knowledge,” “The Eternal Recurrence of the Same and the Will to Power,” and “Nietzsche’s Metaphysics.”

nieTzsChe, voluMes 1 And 2 Martin Heidegger Translated by David Farrell Krell

Historic for its subject—Nietzsche’s thought—and for who conducted the investigations—Heidegger, Nietzsche, Volumes 1 and 2 contains “The Will to Power as Art” and “The Eternal Recurrence of the Same,” both vital to an understanding of twentieth-century philosophy and intellectual history.

“A major contribution to our understanding of each of these thinkers.”—Booklist HarperOne: 608 pp. 1991 978-0-06-063841-2 pb, $24.95 ($28.00 CAN)

When nieTzsChe WePT A novel of obsessionIrvin D.YalomIn nineteenth-century Vienna, Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe’s greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental “talking cure,” Breuer never expects that he too will find solace in their sessions. In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense, to unfold an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship.

“A pleasure to read both for its intriguing cross-discussion of philosophy and emerging psychotherapy, and for its powerful evocation of the eccentric characters of Nietzsche and Breuer.” —San Francisco Chronicle

freudinventor of the Modern MindPeter D. KramerThough often referred to as “the father of psychoanalysis,” Sigmund Freud’s legacy is in dispute, with historians determining that Freud often misrepresented the course and outcome of his treatments—so that the facts would match his theories. Peter D. Kramer, a practicing psychiatrist and a leading national authority on mental health, offers a new take on this controversial figure, one both critical and sympathetic. He recognizes that although much of Freud’s thought is now archaic, the discipline he invented has become an inescapable part of our culture, transforming the way we see ourselves.

revoluTion in MindThe Creation of PsychoanalysisGeorge MakariA masterful history of one of the most important movements of our time, Revolution in Mind reveals a fascinating array of

characters who were involved in the making of psychoanalysis, many of whom have been long ignored or forgotten. Along with Sigmund Freud, George Makari introduces readers to Eugen Bleuler, Carl Jung, and Alfred Adler, all of whom eventually broke away and accused the Freudian community of being unscientific. Makari reveals how in the wake of these crises, innovators like Sándor Ferenczi, Wilhelm Reich, Melanie Klein, and others reformed psychoanalysis, which began to gain wide acceptance only to be banished from the continent and sent into exile due to the rise of fascism.

“Brilliant. . . . A magisterial study that moves beyond the heated disputes of past decades to gives us a detailed, deeply reflective history. . . . What emerges from this book is the sheer excitement of the warring ideas which went into the making of psychoanalysis and our contemporary understanding of mind and emotions. . . . The book will serve historians of the field, as well as undaunted readers, for many years to come.” —The Financial Times

Ludwig Wittgenstein (Continued)

The Blue And BroWn Books “There could be no better introduction to Wittgenstein’s thought than the Blue Book, whose simplicity and forthrightness must make an instant appeal. The progressive complications of the Brown Book make a natural bridge to the still more subtle, but often confusing, exposition of the Investigations. Every serious student of philosophy will want to own this volume.” —Max BlackHarper Perennial: 208 pp. 1942 978-0-06-131211-3 pb, $14.95 ($11.95 CAN.)

on CerTAinTyEdited by G. E. M. Anscombe & G. H. von Wright Translated by Denis Paul & G. E. M. Anscombe

Written in the last 18 months of Wittgenstein’s life, the insights collected in this volume were written in response to Moore’s “Defence of Common Sense” and claim to know a number of propositions for sure, including “Here is one hand, and here is another,“ and “The earth existed for a long time before my birth,” and “I have never been far from the earth’s surface.”

“A guide to the thought of this most complex of philosophers.”—Bookseller

“Full of thought-provoking insights which will prove a stimulus both to further study and to scholarly disagreement.”—Alan R. White, Philosophical Books

WiTTgensTein’s Poker The story of a Ten-Minute Argument Between Two greAT PhilosophersDavid Edmonds An engaging mix of philosophy, history, biography, and literary detection, Wittgenstein’s Poker explores, through a legend-making confrontation between

Karl Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein, the history of philosophy in the twentieth century. It evokes the tumult of fin-de-siécle Vienna; the tragedy of the Nazi takeover of Austria; and postwar Cambridge University, with its eccentric set of philosophy dons, including Bertrand Russell. At the center of the story stand the two giants of philosophy themselves—proud, irascible, larger than life—and spoiling for a fight.

“A terrific book, a fugue-like account of everything of everything we know and don’t know about a ten-minute squabble between two great philosophers.” —The New Yorker

“Engrossing. . . . The clash between Wittgenstein and Popper has the glamour of a small epic.” —Los Angeles Times

Being And TiMeTranslated by John MacQuarrie and Edward Robinson

New Foreword by Taylor Carman

“What is the meaning of being?” This is the central question of Martin Heidegger’s profoundly important work, in which the great philosopher seeks to explain the basic problem of existence. Being and Time has had tremendous influence on philosophy, literature, and psychology, and has literally changed the intellectual map of the modern world.

“Powerful and original . . . Being and Time

changed the course of philosophy.” —Richard Rorty, New York Times Book Review

“Possibly the greatest Western philosopher since Hegel.”—The Guardian (London)Harper Perennial Modern Thought: 608 pp. 2008 978-0-06-157559-4 pb, $19.95 (n/a CAN.)

disCourse on ThinkingTranslated by John M. Anderson and E. Hans Freund

Introduction by John M. Anderson “‘The Memorial Address’ formulates Heidegger’s concern for meditative thinking . . . [and] makes clear Heidegger’s understanding of the relation of meditative thinking to contemporary human life. ‘The explanatory Conversations on a Country Path About Thinking’ provides a transitional introduction into the complexities of Heidegger’s philosophy. . . . The interplay of thought and argument, the free use of word and metaphor, the poetic summaries, all offer a new perspective on an abstract argument, which should be of help in rounding out an awareness of the vision Heidegger has of the

place of man in Being.”—John M. Anderson and E. Hans Freund, from the Preface

on The WAy To lAnguAgeOn the Way to Language enables readers to understand how central language became to Heidegger’s analysis of the nature of Being. In this volume, Heidegger explores the philosophical problems of language and begins to unfold the meaning behind his famous and little-understood phrase “Language is the house of Being.” On the Way to Language demonstrates that an interest in the meaning of language is one of the strongest bonds between analytic philosophy and Heidegger.

PoeTry, lAnguAge, ThoughTTranslated by Albert Hofstadter

Essential reading for students and anyone interested in the great philosophers, Poetry, Language, Thought opened up an appreciation of Martin Heidegger beyond the confines of philosophy to the reaches of poetry. In Heidegger’s thinking, poetry is not a mere amusement or a form of culture but a force that opens up the realm of truth and brings man to the measure of his being and his world.

“A first-rate introduction . . . [a] very valuable collection.”—Review of Metaphysics

“This collection of essays . . . offers the English-speaking reader a well-organized and characteristic encounter with Heidegger’s thought which takes place this side of the so-call ‘reversal.’” —Dialogue: Canadian Philosophical Review

The essays in this collection include “The Question Concerning Technology,” “The Turning,” “The Word of Nietzsche: ‘God Is Dead’,” “The Age of the World Picture,” and “Science and Reflection.”

“To read Heidegger is to set out on an adventure.

WhAT is CAlled Thinking? Translated by J. Glenn Gray

“For an acquaintance with the thought of Heidegger, What Is Called Thinking? is as important as Being and Time. It is the only systematic presentation of the thinker’s late philosophy and . . . it is perhaps the most exciting of his books.”—Hannah Arendt

“Heidegger has tried to reinterpret the purport of his first major work, Being and

Time, as meaning an opening of the horizon of Being through man’s horizon of thinking. What Is Called Thinking? no doubt provides his most far-reaching and persistent attempt to define the direction of such a reinterpretation.”—Cyril Welch, Journal of the

minds.” Huxley examines the spiritual beliefs of the major world religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christian mysticism, and Islam, and he explains how they are united by common human yearning to experience the divine.

“It is the masterpiece of all anthologies. As Mr. Huxley has proved before, he can find and frame rare beauty in literature, and here, long before Freud, writers are quoted who combine beauty with proud psychology.” —New York Times

Simone de Beauvoir

TêTe-à-TêTeThe Tumultuous lives & loves of simone de Beauvoir and jean-Paul sartreHazel RowleyWith Tête-à-Tête, distinguished biographer Hazel Rowley offers the first dual portrait of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre—passionate,

freethinking existentialist philosopher-writers—and their intense, often embattled relationship. Through original interviews and access to new primary sources, Rowley reveals the couple’s unconventional relationship but also provides an insider’s ear to the couple’s conversations about Sartre’s Nausea, Being and Nothingness, and Words, and Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, The Mandarins, and her memoirs.

“One of the best books of the year.” —Washington Post

“Rowley is an engrossing narrator. Her book tells Beauvoir and Sartre’s repellent, inspiring, and unlikely tale more completely and concisely than it has ever been told before.”—New York Times Book Review

The ArT of lovingIntroduction by Peter D. Kramer

In his classic work, the renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm explores love in all its aspects; not only romantic love, so steeped in false conceptions and

lofty expectations, but also love of parents for children, brotherly love, erotic love, self–love, and love of God.

“Erich Fromm is both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability. His book is one of dignity and candor, or practicality and precision.”—Chicago Tribune

Antony Flew

There is A godhow the World’s Most notorious Atheist Changed his MindAntony Flew with Roy Abraham VargheseFlew was a pioneer for modern atheism. His famous paper, “Theology and

Falsification,” was first presented at a meeting of the Oxford Socratic Club chaired by C. S. Lewis and went on to become the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades. Flew earned his fame by arguing that one should presuppose atheism until evidence of a God surfaces. He now believes that such evidence exists, and There Is a God chronicles his journey from staunch atheism to unlikely believer. Flew provides a riveting analysis of the influential arguments of such luminaries as Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, and Francis Collins—and he comments on such issues as evolution, intelligent design, creationism,

science and faith, and the role of religion in our world today.

“Perhaps what provides the deepest satisfaction in reading this philosophical memoir is the author’s transparent integrity, so habitual over a productive lifetime as to be, as Aristotle would have it, second nature. How shrill and self-absorbed are the opposing works of a Dawkins or a Dennett by comparison…. Flew’s exposition will be a source for reflective inquiry for many, many years. In his youth he was led by brave Socrates. Now older, he will serve as a model for others.” — Daniel N. Robinson, Philosophy Department, Oxford University

TAo Te ChingLao Tzu Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Lao-tzu’s Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living. In eighty-one brief chapters, Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament

of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective in a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action, teaching how working for the good can happen with effortless skill when in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and how it applies equally to good government and sexual love, to childrearing, business, and ecology.

“Stephen Mitchell’s rendition of the Tao Te

Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtures its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, large-heartedness, and deep wisdom.”—Huston SmithHarperCollins: 128 pp. 1988 978-0-06-016001-2 hc, $24.00 ($28.00 CAN.)

The living i Ching using Ancient Chinese Wisdom to shape your life Deng Ming-Dao From the author of 365 Tao and a leading authority on Taoist practice and philosophy comes a completely innovative translation of the classic text of Eastern wisdom, the I Ching. While known mostly as a tool of divination, the I Ching is also a repository of centuries of wisdom. Most of the existing translations offer either dense, scholarly commentary or little more than platitudes. Deng Ming-Dao’s new translation recovers the true wisdom and philosophy of this ancient classic.

“Deng Ming-Dao skillfully translates timeless Taoist wisdom, which combines mind and heart, reflecting a sound spiritual tradition.”—Dan Millman, author of Way of the

Krishnamurti discusses these themes with Jacob Needleman, Alain Naude, Swami Venkatasananda, and other luminary thinkers. HarperOne: 544 pp. 1987 978-0-06-064834-3 pb, $18.00 ($19.25 CAN.)

eThiCs in An Age of TeChnologyThe gifford lectures, volume TwoWhat are the conflicting ethics and assumptions that lead to divergent views and technology? To help shed light on this question, Ian Barbour analyzes three social values: justice, participatory freedom, and economic development. He defends such environmental principles as resource sustainability, environmental protection, and respect for all forms of life and presents case studies in agriculture, energy policy, genetic engineering, and the use of computers. Finally, he concludes by focusing on appropriate technologies, individual life-styles, and sources of change: education, political action, response to crisis, and alternative visions of the good life.HarperOne: 336 pp. 1992: 978-0-06-060935-1 pb, $21.95 ($25.95 CAN.)

PhysiCs And PhilosoPhyThe revolution in Modern science Werner HeisenbergWith an Introduction by F. S. C. Northrup

The outgrowth of a celebrated lecture series, Physics and Philosophy remains

as relevant, provocative, and fascinating as when it was first published in 1958. A brilliant scientist whose ideas altered our perception of the universe, Heisenberg is considered the father of quantum physics. He is most famous for the Uncertainty Principle, which states that quantum particles do not occupy a fixed, measurable position. His contributions remain a cornerstone of contemporary physics theory and application.

“Philosophically, the implications of quantum mechanics are psychedelic. . . . [A] mind-expanding discovery.”—Gary Zukav, author of The Seat of the Soul

MAChiAvelliPhilosopher of Power Ross King The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli’s handbook on power—how to get it and how to keep it—has been enormously influential in the centuries since it was written, garnering a heady mixture of admiration, fear, and contempt. In this discerning new biography, Ross King rescues Machiavelli’s legacy from caricature, detailing the vibrant political and social context that influenced his thought and underscoring the humanity of one of history’s finest political thinkers.

“Everything a short biography should be and more, due to King’s sharp wit and zesty anecdotes: . . . It provides a strong sense of the history of both the man and his times and a nice introduction to Machiavelli’s writings. Moreover, like one of Machiavelli’s bawdy plays, it is a riveting and exhilarating read, full of salacious details and brisk prose.” —Publishers Weekly, (Starred Review)Harper: 256 pp. 2007 978-0-06-081717-6 hc, $21.95 ($27.95 CAN.)

The True BelieverThoughts on the nature of Mass Movements

Eric Hoffer A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The

True Believer—the first and most famous of his books—was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences. Completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.

“This brilliant and original inquiry into the nature of mass movements is a genuine contribution to our social thought.” —Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

“It’s theme is political fanaticism, with which it deals severely and brilliantly.” —The New Yorker

exPlAining hiTlerThe search for the origins of his evil

Ron Rosenbaum When Hitler’s war ended in 1945, the war over Hitler—who he really was, what gave birth to his unique evil—had just begun. Hitler did not escape the bunker in Berlin but, half a century later, he has managed to escape explanation in ways both frightening and profound. Explaining Hitler is an extraordinary quest, an expedition into the war zone of Hitler theories.

“Fascinating . . . A provocative work of cultural history that is as compelling as it is thoughtful, as readable as it is smart. . . . An important contribution to our understanding not just of Hitler, but of the cultural processes by which we try to come to terms with history as well . . . .

rising uP And rising doWn some Thoughts on violence, freedom, and urgent Means

William T. VollmannConvinced that there is “a finite number of excuses” for violence and that some excuses “are more valid than others,” Vollmann consulted hundreds of sources, scrutinizing the thinking of philosophers, theologians, tyrants, warlords, military strategists, activists and pacifists. He also visited more than a dozen countries and war zones to witness violence firsthand—sometimes barely escaping with his life. Vollmann makes deft use of these tools and experiences to create his Moral Calculus, a structured decision-making system designed to help the reader decide when violence is justifiable and when it is not.

“Prepare yourself for an intense study of violence in its many forms and manifestations—and for the experience of having your cerebellum massaged in new and startling ways.”—San Francisco Chronicle

If man can fulfill these obligations, then and only then can he enjoy a real relationship with the world, then and only then can he know the meaning of living.

E. F. SchumacherPrefaces by John McClaughry and Kirkpatrick Sale

The classic of common-sense economics. Ranked by The Times Literary Supplement as among the 100 most influential books published after World War II, Small Is Beautiful has become a classic of common-sense economics. At the heart of his analysis, E. F. Schumacher faults conventional economic thinking for failing to consider the most appropriate scale for an activity, blasts notions that “growth is good,” and that “bigger is better,” and questions the appropriateness of using mass production in developing countries, promoting instead “production by the masses.”

“A wonderful statement . . . Makes the kind of common sense that could help the survival of life on earth become at least a decent possibility.” —Liberation

A work of major importance in the history of Western religious thought, Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone represents the great philosopher Immanuel Kant’s attempt to spell out the form and content of a type of religion grounded in moral reason that met the needs of an ethical life. His strictly rational approach was considered so scandalous that the King of Prussia forbid him to teach or write further on religious subjects, which Kant obeyed until the king’s death.

Richard Rubenstein writes of the holocaust, why it happened, why it happened when it

did, and why it may happen again and again.

“Rubenstein is forcing us to reinterpret the meaning of Auschwitz—especially, though not exclusively, from the standpoint of its existence as part of a continuum of slavery that has been engrafted for centuries onto the very body of Western civilization. . . . It is actually embedded deeply in a cultural tradition that stretches back to the Middle Passage from the coast of Africa, and beyond, to the enforced servitude in ancient Greece and Rome. Rubenstein is saying that we ignore this linkage, and the existence of the sleeping virus in the bloodstream of civilization, at the risk of our future.” —William Styron, from the Introduction Harper Perennial: 128 pp. 1987 978-0-06-132068-2 pb, $13.00 ($15.00 CAN.)

MorAl CourAgeTaking Action When your values Are Put to the TestRushworth M. Kidder In a book rich with examples, Rushworth Kidder reveals that moral courage is the bridge between talking ethics and doing ethics. Defining it as a readiness to endure danger for the sake of principle, he explains that the courage to act is found at the intersection of three elements: action based on core values, awareness of the risks, and a willingness to endure necessary hardship. By exploring how moral courage spurs us to strive for core values, he demonstrates the benefits of ethical action to the individual and to society—and the severe consequences that can result from remaining morally dormant.

Half a century ago, social scientist Stanley Milgram carried out a series of experiments.

The teacher — unaware that the learner is an actor receiving no shocks at all — is the real focus of the study. These controversial and criticized experiments illustrate how people will obey authority regardless of consequences.

Words & rulesThe ingredients of language Stephen PinkerBy picking a deceptively simple phenomenon—regular and irregular verbs—Steven Pinker connects an astonishing array of topics in the sciences and the humanities: the history of languages; the attempts to create language using computer simulations of neural networks; major ideas in the history of Western philosophy; and more. He makes sense of all this with the help of a single, powerful idea: that language comprises a mental dictionary of memorized words and a mental grammar of creative rules. His theory extends beyond language and offers insight in the very nature of the human mind.

“A gem.”—New York Times

floWThe Psychology of optimal experienceMihaly CsikszentmihalyiPsychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s famous investigations of “optimal experience” have revealed that what makes an experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow.

He discusses such ideas as why creative individuals are often seen as selfish and arrogant, and why the tortured genius is largely a myth. Most important, he clearly explains why creativity needs to be cultivated

He wants us to control the direction of human evolution by pursuing challenging activities that lead to greater complexity while opposing chaos and conformity.”—Publishers Weekly

jesusA story of enlightenmentDeepak Chopra

“The Jesus who is left out of the New Testament turns out to be in many ways the most important Jesus for modern times. His aspiration to find salvation vibrates in every heart. If it didn’t, the brief career of a controversial, largely despised rabbi on the outskirts of Jewish society wouldn’t mean much. Yet as we all know, that obscure rabbi became imbedded forever in myth and symbol. I don’t want the Jesus in this book to be worshipped, much less push him forward as definitive. The events of the tale are pure fiction. But at a deeper level, the Jesus in this book feels real because we’ve gotten a glimpse into his mind. One flash of insight answers many prayers. I hope the reader feels the same way, too.” —Deepak Chopra from the Author’s NoteHarperOne: 288 pp. 2008 978-0-06-144873-7 hc, $24.95 ($26.95 CAN.)

One of Kierkegaard’s most accessible works, Purity of Heart takes a deep look into human motivations in life and faith, providing the “equivalent of shock therapy” (Chad Walsh, The Living Church).

religion WiThin The liMiTs of reAson AloneImmanuel KantTranslated with an Introduction and Notes by Theodore M. Greene and Hoyt H. Hudson

A work of major importance in the history of Western

religious thought, Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone represents the great philosopher Immanuel Kant’s attempt to spell out the form and content of a type of religion grounded in moral reason that met the needs of an ethical life. His strictly rational approach was considered so scandalous that the King of Prussia forbid him to teach or write further on religious subjects, which

Kant obeyed until the king’s death.

“Indispensable to students of ethics, important for theologians, and significant for all who are concerned about the human condition.”—H. Richard Niebuhr

dynAMiCs of fAiThPaul Tillich Introduction by Marion Pauck

One of the greatest books ever written on the subject, Dynamics of Faith is the ultimate primer in the philosophy of religion. Paul Tillich, a leading theologian of the twentieth century, explores the idea of faith in all its dimensions, while defining the concept in the process.

“A good introduction for those who would like to get acquainted with [Tillich], an important clarification of his thought for those who have struggled through his earlier books, and an important essay in its own right.” —Albert C. Outler

“A little classic. . . . His analyses of the purely intellectual, emotion, and volitional interpretations of the dynamics of faith are superbly subtle in distinguishing what is true from what is false in each position. . . . Reveals the astounding virtuosity of the man and the thinker.”—Reinhold NiebuhrHarper Perennial Modern Classics: 176 pp. 2001: 978-0-06-093713-3 pb, $14.95 ($16.50 CAN.)

“[Weil’s] writing is unmatched for surprising, sometimes shocking, spiritual insight.” —New York Times

“Simone Weil has become a legend and her writings are regarded as a classic document of our period.” —The New Yorker

The TruTh of CATholiCisM Ten Controversies exploredGeorge Weigel What does being a Catholic mean? Is there a distinctively Catholic way of seeing things?

“Whatever may be our personal attitude towards the [Barthian] movement, it represents a leading, if not dominant, trend in current Protestant theology, and as such needs to be understood by all teachers of religion.

The PhenoMenon of MAnIntroduction by Sir Julian Huxley

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, one of the most distinguished thinkers and scientists of our time, fits into no familiar category for he was at once a biologist and

a paleontologist of world renown and also a Jesuit priest. He applied his whole life, his tremendous intellect, and his great spiritual faith to building a philosophy that would reconcile Christian theology with the scientific theory of evolution, to relate the facts of religious experience to those of natural science. The Phenomenon of Man is Pierre Teilhard’s most important book and contains the quintessence of his thought.

“A work of major importance for science and philosophy. The book attempts to provide a coherent vision of the process of evolution starting from the formation of our planet through the emergence of life, and later, thought, to an imagined end state or Omega Point.”—Review of Metaphysics

”A great man of science and a great soul. His work gives our generation the comprehensive view it sorely needs.”—Arnold J. ToynbeeHarper Perennial Modern Thought: 320 pp.; index. 2008 978-0-06-163265-5 pb, $14.95 (n/a CAN.)

Huston Smith

The World’s religionsHuston Smith’s masterpiece explores the essential elements and teaching of the world’s predominant faiths, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism,

Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the native traditions of the Americas, Australia, Africa, and Oceania. Emphasizing the inner—rather than institutional—dimensions of these religions, Smith devotes special attention to Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, and the teachings of Jesus. He convincingly conveys the unique appeal and gifts of each of the traditions and reveals their hold on the human heart and imagination.

“Huston Smith’s classic on the world’s religions has justifiably become as venerable as the old texts he studies. . . . . I urge all readers to make it the core of their home library.”—Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul

C.S. Lewis

Mere ChrisTiAniTyForeword by Kathleen Norris

A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity, Mere

Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to “explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.” A collection of scintillating brilliance that remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader, Mere Christianity uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together.

“I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration.”—John Updike

“C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.” —Anthony Burgess, New York Times Book Review

Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew

Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

There is A godhow the World’s Most notorious Atheist Changed his MindAntony Flew with Roy Abraham VargheseFlew was a pioneer for modern atheism. His famous paper, “Theology and

Falsification,” was first presented at a meeting of the Oxford Socratic Club chaired by C. S. Lewis and went on to become the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades. Flew earned his fame by arguing that one should presuppose atheism until evidence of a God surfaces. He now believes that such evidence exists, and There Is a God chronicles his journey from staunch atheism to unlikely believer. Flew provides a riveting analysis of the influential arguments of such luminaries as Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, and Francis Collins—and he comments on such issues as evolution, intelligent design, creationism, science and faith, and the role of religion in our world today.

“Perhaps what provides the deepest satisfaction in reading this philosophical memoir is the author’s transparent integrity, so habitual over a productive lifetime as to be, as Aristotle would have it, second nature. How shrill and self-absorbed are the opposing works of a Dawkins or a Dennett by comparison…. Flew’s exposition will be a source for reflective inquiry for many, many years. In his youth he was led by brave Socrates. Now older, he will serve as a model for others.” —Daniel N.

The lAsT leCTureRandy Pausch with Jeffery ZaslowA lot of professors give talks titled “The Last Lecture.” Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can’t help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn’t have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”—wasn’t about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment. It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.Professor Pausch lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008.Hyperion: 224 pp.; illustrated. 2008 978-1-40-132325-7 hc, $21.95

jesusA story of enlightenmentDeepak Chopra

“The Jesus who is left out of the New Testament turns out to be in many ways the most important Jesus for modern times. His aspiration to find salvation vibrates in every heart. If it didn’t, the brief career of a controversial, largely despised rabbi on the outskirts of Jewish society wouldn’t mean much. Yet as we all know, that obscure rabbi became imbedded forever in myth and symbol. I don’t want the Jesus in this book to be worshipped, much less push him forward as definitive. The events of the tale are pure fiction. But at a deeper level, the Jesus in this book feels real because we’ve gotten a glimpse into his mind. One flash of insight answers many prayers. I hope the reader feels the same way, too.”—Deepak Chopra from the Author’s NoteHarperOne: 288 pp. 2008 978-0-06-144873-7 hc, $24.95 ($26.95 CAN.)

lAMB The gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal Christopher MooreNo one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years—except Biff, the Messiah’s best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work “reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams” (Philadelphia Inquirer). The story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes.

“Lamb is hysterical, sexy, and really deeply moving: Moore performs a sleight-of-hand, a balancing act, of fiendish exactitude—not an ounce of bathos too much, not a shred of potential heresy for anyone who takes the story too seriously, not a joke-op missed.” —Gregory Maquire, author of Wicked and Son of a Witch

The unBeArABle lighTness of BeingMilan KunderaThis “work of the boldest mastery, originality, and richness” (Elizabeth Hardwick) tells the story of a young woman in love with

a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by

fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel “the unbearable lightness of being” not only as the consequence of one’s pristine actions but also in the public sphere, where the two inevitably intertwine.

“Brilliant. . . . A work of high modernist playfulness and deep pathos.” —Janet Malcolm, New York Review of Books

Erasmas eagerly anticipates reconnecting with the landmarks and family he hasn’t seen since he was “collected.” But before the week is out, both the existence he abandoned and the one he embraced will stand poised on the brink of cataclysmic change.

“Stephenson’s expansive storytelling echoes Walter Miller’s classic A Canticle for Leibowitz, the space operas of Larry Niven and the cultural meditations of Douglas Hofstadter – a heady mix of antecedents that makes for long stretches of dazzling entertainment.” —Publishers Weekly

The ArT of rACing in The rAinGarth SteinEnzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul, he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words

of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Having learned what it takes to be a compassionate and successful person, the wise canine can barely wait until his next lifetime, when he is sure he will return as a man.

“This old soul of a dog has much to teach us about being human. I loved this book.” —Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants

“Moving…. Enzo…folds thrilling track scenes and driving lessons into the terse family drama….Readers will…delight in Enzo’s wild, original voice; his aching insights into the limitations and joys of the canine and human worlds; and his infinite capacity for love.”—Booklist

Paulo Coelho

The AlCheMisTA modern classic, universally admired, The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.

From his home in Spain, he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life’s path, and, above all, following our dreams.

“This Brazilian wizard makes books disappear fom stores.”—New York Times

“Beneath this novel’s compelling story and the shimmering elegance with which it’s told lies a bedrock of wisdom about following one’s heart.” —Booklist

HarperOne: 208 pp. 2006 978-0-06-112241-5 pb, $13.95 ($14.95 CAN.)

MAsTerPieCes of World PhilosoPhyFrank N. Magill For many, philosophy is a difficult, almost unapproachable field—just understanding it seems to require more knowledge than most students and general readers could possible have. That’s how Masterpieces of World Philosophy can help you to truly grasp the ideas of Aristotle and Aquinas, Confucius and Camus: it examines and summarizes nearly one hundred influential works through critical essays that focus on their themes and major points. Each essay explains the historical background of the work, the life of its author, and its influence on modern thought. Alternative views of the philosopher’s ideas are provided through reviews of important critical works, and reading lists help you find sources for additional information.
