Favorite kind-of-philosophical book (not Nietzsches)

Well...i've graduated in Philosophy so its hard to chose one.
There's a lot more than Nietzsche to read...His main thesis 'The Death Of God' is a interpretation of Ludwig Feuerbach's "The essence of christianity".
Soren kierkegaard achieved similar conclusions in his work.
more recently, in the XXth century we have Husserl's 'Cartesian Meditations' (a fundamental book for the last century philosophy). Also Bertrand Russel's "the analysis of mind' if you want a more introduction book to philosophy try "The Problems of Philosophy".

In France in the 60's you have:
Albert camus
Jean-Paul sartre
Georges Battaille

all Nietzsches influenced.
later you have Michel Foucault, Deleuze, also both Nietzsche influenced.

In Germany:

Karl Jaspers would be the most relevant after Husserl.
Heiddeger, although a convicted nazi in early 30's, has hugely masterpieces in the matter of metaphisics.

You also have more recently Nozick's reflections. Quine's "Two Dogmas of Empiricism", Thomas Nagel, Simon Blackburn, etc. etc.
if you want more specific elements ask. :)))

The Works of Heinz von Förster.

Emil Cioran - Pe Culmile Disperarii. I guess " On The Heights Of Desperation" in English or something like that, there must be a translated version somewhere I think.

Schopenhauer - The World as Will and Representation

Jiddu Krishnamurti - All.



Also Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein, Camus, Cioran and Deleuze.

Julius Evola works...
Epiktet - Encheiridion
Unabomber Manifesto
Wlodzimierz Pawluczuk expositions ;)

i didn't read much of philosophy but i could recommend you: emil cioran-twilight of thoughts( Amurgul gandurilor), Emil cioran- Saints and tears (Lacrimi si sfinti), Immanuel kant- Crtics of pure reason and Arthur Schopenhauer

Well Schopenhauer is really important for the Irrationalism as a main philosophy in 19-th century. The "Reason" or the logos philosophy starts it's degradation with Schopenhauer (in other opinions with Hegel) - the new Transcendent - is not the Reason, but The Will and in Schopenhauer's philosophy the Absolute Will. It's actually in Schopenhauer's philosophy the beginning of what Nietzsche is about to destroy.
The most interesting thing about Schopenhauer is that he uses the tools of rationalism to create something so irrational. He creates the world as representation and than makes that world only a slave of the great and unknown Will, after than he just kills that Will - and went from rational creation of the world to a irrational Transcendent and of course Buddhistical end - Nothing as a result of the destruction of the Will.
That is why Nietzsche takes Schopenhauer's idea but only to make The will something that is creative and human - not transcendental, but will to might (Wille zur Macht) that is for the strongest earthy beings.
The philosophy of 19-th century and mainly Schopenhauer's and Nietzsche's is the end of Absolute philosophy, the end of 27 century of logos philosophy and that is in one period that is less that 100 years - only two people are needed. Schopenhauer starts it and Nietzsche with the hammer just destroys everything - 27 century of thinking to make a turn in whole history, to grab the human being that is flying somewhere and waiting for the God's grace and throw it so hard down on Earth - that's why he is the biggest humanist of all times.
I can recommend to everyone the dissertation of Schopenhauer "On the Fourfold principle of sufficient reason" because that is where he starts to create the world as representation and it's main lows, that "The world as will and representation" -1, 2 - because that's where the magic happens ;) in the first one we have - creation and destruction - all in one ;).
And after that I can recommend Kierkegaard also his dissertation on the irony.
May be Jean-Paul Sartre from existentialism and something new of course - Derrida and the Dialogical philosphy is influenced by irrationalism :)
