My Promised Books List
The first four books would not take much toll on your mental state. If anything, they will sway you away from nihilism plaguing the intellectual circles.
The rest of the list is a no-go zone without having an experienced guide helping you navigate the sheer density of provocative ideas and social-matrix-shattering perspectives.
📚Socratic Dialogues, including "Euthyphro," "Meno," "Phaedo," and "Apology."
📚Alain de Botton's The Consolations of Philosophy
📚 Fareed Zakaria's In Defense of a Liberal Education
📚 Michael Walzer's Spheres of Justice: A Defense of Pluralism and Equality
📚 Charles Taylor's The Ethics of Authenticity
📚 Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish
📚Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition
📚 Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil
And yes, do share this list! Let me know when you cover it.
I have many more titles in store from my six-year academic journey.
