It is impossible to read all these books in the list but good to see the least for saving time while looking for some
New book . Many in the list personally did not like at all with few I could
Not even comprehend so one should always not get swayed by such list but make own decision keeping in mind likings and inclination towards subject or author. My bit of advice but yes I like listening to Jonathan for sure and he is an amazing communicator with great sense of fashion 👍
I saw Robert Thurman speak about Vimalakirti at RPI while I was studying phenomenology there in 1982. SInce I've tried to keep an extra copy around, so I can give it away to someone who need to read it. I've been devoted since to synthesizing Phenomenology (Husserl) Deconstruction (Derrida) and Buddhism (Nagarjuna) into what I have referred to as "Heart Sutra Science".
It's a fine reading list, but it needs more Husserl. Don't bother so much with Heidegger, but Derrida and Merleau-Ponty would help, especially how they make some important course-corrections on Husserl.

Great list. I just got done perusing your substack and man do I wish I found it earlier! Anyone have a good reading plan for the great books of the Western world + some others on this list?
Fantastic list. I would add any of C.S. Lewis’ classics - e.g. Mere Christianity is one of the most profound books I have ever read.

Great list! I’m curious if you kept track of how the list evolved and how you decided the ranking.
I love most of the books you listed.
Thumps up!
You missed the most important one, the Urantia Book.
