Philosophy Recommendations? (beehaw.org)

What books/podcasts/videos do you recommend on philosophy?

Can be of any style (introductory or more comprehensive), just would be good to build up a repository on here and see who else is interested in philosophy more generally.

I find The Prince by Machiavelli fascinating, can definitely see how some leaders take his ideas to heart.

For a good look at a topic 98% overlook, check out Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. I'm obviously biased as a vegan, but I find it hard to believe that someone could read and understand just the first chapter (30 or so pages) and not agree with him.

Can recommend this podcast. Everytime I'm interested in a new school of philosophy I listen to the respective episodes :)
