Nominate Books for May
This thread is to nominate philosophy books for the May book of the month. To make a nomination, please post both the title and the author of the book. Only one nomination per person, and make sure the books are non-fiction and related to philosophy.
I'll leave this thread open for 1 week, and then I'll make a thread for us all to vote on the nominations. Whichever nomination gets the most votes will be the May book of the month.
When makings nominations, try to think of a book that would be good to read and discuss as a group.
Thanks,
Scott

A good reply to Daniel Dennett's book that is worth checking out is "C.S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea."
I'd like to nominate C.S. Lewis's "Miracles," perhaps not as a stand alone book, but alongside Dennett's "Darwin's Dangerous Idea." They are definitely opposed, but that would make for good conversation, would it not?
