I bought this book while perusing the titles under Modern Philosophy in San Francisco's Adobe Books. The front cover is a black and white photo of a couple dressed in "olden time" wear (man in black suit and bow tie, woman in ruffled full length sleeved blouse with the ruffled neck to her chin) while the back cover is the negative of the same photo. Chapter titles include: The Enigma of Being, The Elusive Ground for Morality, The Debate Over Determinism... It was the list of author's in these chapters that really caught my eye. Any book of essays dealing with such topics that includes works by Pascal, Castaneda, Tolstoy, Ouspensky, Twain, Sartre, Kant and many, many others including Buddhist parables and excerpts from the "Rig Veda" is a book I cannot and could not leave behind. If you find it, please do yourself a favor and take it home. It's a true treasure!

If you read nothing else in your life, which you probably won't, this is the book to read. Remember if you read nothing else, but that would be a pretty stupid proposition, wouldn't it?
