Reason, Egoism, Capitalism—spreading underground
| Deep Thinkers is for those who aspire to become deep thinkers. It is for those who wish to learn how the most powerful ideas fit together into philosophies. It is for those who wish to mine the past for good and potent ideas that have been overlooked. It is also for those few who seek to "roll their own," to make the new ideas and philosophies which will shape the future. |
| Deep Thinkers is an extremely selective library and bookstore for those who aspire to master philosophy through independent study. |
| Philosophy takes a long time to learn. You don't need your path cluttered with tedious tomes that waste your time. We are dead serious about economizing leisure, both ours and yours. |
| We won't waste your time with the "bad guys." You don't need to read more than snippets of them to learn that they're hopelessly wrong. There are honest historians and scholars who can save you that time. We'll offer you the best of those that we can find. |
| We won't waste your time with the second or third-rate. If a work appears on this site, that's because it is in some way the best we know of, or the best we can get. We aim to offer the complete works of the top five philosophers, but only because those five are the best. |
| Deep Thinkers will grow over time, but only as we gradually complete it, or as we discover outstanding new works. We'll probably offer a few items just for fun, but we'll warn you if we do! |
| We think that our policy of "Only the
best!" will make this site the best choice for those who
wish to proceed efficiently to mastery of the most difficult, the most
rewarding, and the least appreciated science of them all: philosophy.
|
| Many important works are not online. Through Amazon.com, we can offer them to you anyway. |
| You will probably want to build your own personal library of crucial works even if they are also online. |
| Amazon.com has a fine reputation for good prices, speedy service and honesty. |
| We earn a referral fee for many of the books you buy through our bookstore links. We like that. We like it a lot! |
| Don't be afraid of our bookstore links, they do not place orders; they take you to a page at Amazon.com from which you can place the book in your shopping cart if you like the price, terms and readers' reviews you find there. Then you can either buy it immediately by following the "Buy Items Now" link on their page, or you can return to Deep Thinkers and select more books. Only when you've finished selecting books will you have to decide whether to place an order. |
| For practical purposes you can't
order by accident, so explore to your heart's content!
