I will consider your request (although I cannot give you absolute truth), but for now I have to go get a tire changed. Back soon, I hope!

Thinking it over, it is impossible to give you what you ask, even as a lark. I will do something though, give you central texts for considering various matters: For ethics: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Aquinas's Treatise on Law, Kant's Groundwork of a Metaphysics of Morals, and Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. For politics: Plato's Republic, Stateman, and Laws; Aristotle's Politics; Cicero's De Res Publica; Hobbes's Leviathan, Locke's Second Treatise of Government; De Toqueville's Democracy in America; John Stuart Mill On Liberty. For metaphysics: Plato's Republic; Aristotle's Metaphysics; Aquinas On Being and Essence; Kant's Critique of Pure Reason; Jasper's Reason and Existenz; Heidegger's Being and Time, What is a Thing?, What is Philosophy?, Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics. For epistemology: Plato's Republic, Theaetetus; Aristotle's Posterior Analytics; Descartes' iscourse on Method; Kant's Critique of Pure Reason; Husserl's Cartesian Meditations; Heidegger's Being and Time, What is called Thinking?, What is Philosphy? These are not exhaustive, but they are very important, and trying to see how each may contribute is a worthwhile venture.......
