- pomonomo2003: I read and enjoyed Peters decades ago. Others should do so too. As always with the dated books on this list, scholarship has moved on. But if one wants to do more with ones reading than recite the au courant scholarly understanding(s) than one has to come to terms with how the various disciplines we study have developed. But development is anathema to those who parrot 'Truth'!

- pomonomo2003: When I was young, no one applied to the Koran the source and historical criticism typical of biblical studies. This was one of the first attempts to do so. The book makes extensive use of non-Koranic sources for their then startling thesis. As times changed, more scholars would follow in their critical steps.

- pomonomo2003: An important book from the German 'Konservative Revolution' Tradition that I now own. This is a very thoughtful essay on the woes that modern man faces. He argues that the increase in choices that modernity brings is the root cause of alienation and neurosis. -While not agreeing, I found his arguments provocative.

- pomonomo2003: Wonderfully thoughtful book that comes out of the French post-Stalinist tradition. Axelos is attempting to read Marx (the early Marx) in the light (or glare) of Heidegger. Earlier, Kojeve and Marcuse were attempting something similar, all with differing results. This book should be reprinted!

Knowledge as Doing was the original understanding of early modern Science. This was later replaced by Knowledge as Theory thanks to the success of our mathematicized physics.
