I was reminded the other day of one of my favorite books, a great little introduction to philosophy: T.Z. Lavine’s From Socrates to Sartre: The Philosophic Quest. Recommended to me by my good friend Jack Criss when I was in law school, I devoured it in 1991 or so. [Update: Some of the PBS series the book is based on appear to be available from American Archive of Public Broadcasting here and on Youtube]
Gil Guillory reminded me of another good one the other day, Jim Cox’s The Concise Guide to Economics, available online.
