Reviews of Philosophy

Here are some thoughts about books that I have enjoyed. All reviews are my own.

My reviews are now available in published form (as of November 2006). They number more than 100, and they provide a general survey of eastern and western philosophy. Some of them are below. Copyright © 2006.
