Zen For Beginners
Zen, from its foundation in China of the 6th Century A.D., has always been more than a religion. It is an intriguing system of principles and practices designed to give each individual the experience of eternity in a split second, the knowledge of divinity in every living thing.

Plato For Beginners
All philosophy is a footnote to Plato. No other person so shaped the Western world and the way we think about it.

Deconstruction For Beginners
Deconstruction is so labyrinthine (and rumored to be fatal) that it's become the monster that murdered philosophy.
