Resources
Note to the reader: Here is a list, that is by no means exhaustive, of many of the books that have shaped and challenged and inspired my thinking. It is, like everything else, a work in progress.
I have tried, wherever possible, to give as much bibliographic information about the book as possible. Some of these books are very old, and have been re-published and re-translated ( if applicable) several times, so be aware that the print date does not always reflect the initial publication date.
