 | The Republic by Alexander Nehamas, Alexander D. Lindsay, B. Jowett, Benjamin Jowett, C. D. Reeve
In Plato?s Republic , his most celebrated dialogue, the philosopher condemns the justice and morality of Greek society after the trial and execution of his teacher, Socrates. Disillusioned with politics and politicians, Plato argued that civilization demanded truly enlightened government, led by philosopher-kings. He wrote that ...mankind will have no respite from trouble until either real philosophers gain political power or politicians become by some miracle true philosophers.

 | The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff, E. H. Shepard
Taoism may be unfamiliar to many, but with the Enchanted Forest and the Three Acre Wood as a comfortable context, and Pooh Bear, Piglet, Eeyore and the other inhabitants of A.A. Milne's beloved world as guides, Eastern philosophy has never been so accessible. In a charming and somehow wholly appropriate fashion, the author has drafted Milne's characters and E.H. Shepard's original (and pre-Disney) illustrations to provide commentary on several Taoist stories, and a helpful series of reflections on the meaning of life. AUTHOR: Benjamin Hoff, E. H. Shepard
