Question: Does anyone know of any good philosophy books that I could read!?

I've read The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, but I wasn't too impressed!. I'm interested in philosophy though, and would like to read a good book on the subject; either fiction or non-fiction!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The best book of philosophy I know of (and I've read a lot) is The Philosophy of Marjorie Grene published by Open Court Press!. She is a realist (she says she believes in "realism with a vengeance")!. She demolishes all the idealist nonsense of the past few centuries beginning with Descartes and his "mind in the machine"!. The best thing about the book is that it is very funny!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Republic by Plato!. The Nature of Art by Wartenburg is a nice anthology!. Classics of Political and Moral Philosophy an anthology by steven m!. cahn is great!. The Leviathan by Hobbes!. These are classics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
