Beyond Good and Evil Friedrich Nietzsche, tradotto da Helen Zimmern, L. A. Magnus English
Nietzsche in full aphorism mode, which means half the book reads like a friend picking fights at 2am, funny and mean and weirdly quotable. You'll argue with him constantly, and that's the point; if you want a tidy argument laid out politely, this will drive you nuts.
The Consolation of Philosophy Boethius, tradotto da H. R. James English
You sit with Boethius in prison as Lady Philosophy patiently takes apart his ideas about luck, suffering, and what happiness can survive when everything is taken away. The arguments can feel austere, but the alternating poems and prose make it oddly intimate, especially if you enjoy being challenged rather than comforted.
