Good Books

Plato Rediscovered, T.K. Seung - This book makes me want to read all the works of Plato. This is a beautiful book that rekindled my interest in philosophy. Finnis posited that friendship was one of the basic goods. Seung proposes that friendship is the true basis of political life. Philosophy is both the love of wisdom and friendship in wisdom. After taking Prof. Seung's course on Kant, I felt an incredible desire for true friendship. He showed how philosophy is like home repair. The philosopher becomes familiar with the entire corpus of another philosopher he wishes to engage and shores up the other's edifice. Seung's style is constructive even in his treatment of deconstruction.
