Title	Author	Description
The Living Thoughts of Kierkegaard Living Thoughts of Kierkegaard	W.H. Auden Kierkegaard	Auden's inspired and incisive response to a thinker who had done much to shape his own beliefs is a fundamental reading of an author whose spirit remains as radical as ever more than 150 years after he wrote.
The Mystery of Consciousness Mystery of Consciousness	John R. Searle Searle	What is consciousness? Is my inner awareness of myself something separate from my body?
The Memory Wars: Freud's Legacy in Dispute Memory Wars (hardcover)	Frederick C. Crews Crews	"A dazzling book. Crews brilliantly marshals the damning new scholarship on Freud the man and on analytic theory." —Carol Tavris
The Memory Wars: Freud's Legacy in Dispute Memory Wars (paperback)	Frederick C. Crews Crews	In these essays, Crews elaborates upon his belief that "the relatively patent and vulgar pseudoscience of recovered memory rests in appreciable measure on the respectable and entrenched pseudoscience of psychoanalysis."
Animal Liberation Animal Liberation	Peter Singer Singer	"Singer's documentation is unrhetorical and unemotional, his arguments tight and formidable, for he bases his case on neither personal nor religious nor highly abstract philosophical principles, but on moral positions most of us already accept."—The New York Times Book Review
