What I want you to do, /lit/, is to recommend me what you think are the ten essential books of philosophy. What YOU think, so I don't care how difficult or idiosyncratic the individual books or... papers? are. Go.

Yeah, that's basically it. It covers everything you need to know,
There's some existentialism in there, some good metaphysical theories are discussed. Ethical issues get mentioned delicately. There's something of all the great philosophers in there.

If you are op then welcome and congratulations on asking for a favour from a bunch of strangers and then acting like a superior jerk after you dont immediately get what you want, you will do well here.
Nearly directly insulting the one guy who actually tried to help you was a nice touch.

If you aren't op, then disregard.

Can we get a very hungry caterpillar appreciation thread going?
