Here are a few comments on the books I recommend for Philosophy and the Particular Sciences.
The best (or "least bad"!) Philosophy textbook I've found so far.
What did such and such a philosopher say, when did he say it, and (as far as possible) why?
Why (a lot) and how (a little bit) to become a good thinker. Very inspiring.

(no squeeky-clean HTML version yet).
Pros: very morally correct (i.e. it calls evil "evil", and good "good", which is rare these days, and which is the most important aspect of a book on medical ethics!), very up-to-date, very "researched".
Cons: sometimes tries too hard to be understood by a pagan and scientific audience, which means he uses complicated (but fashionable) expressions, instead of calling a spade a spade. Also, this book assumes you're familiar with a good Philosophy textbook, like the three books by Thonnard.
I would like to recommend THE textbook on Science and the Scientific method, but I don't know of any yet (See "Isn't believing in Science anti-scientific?"). Mr. Gauch's book is much better than nothing. But some of its errors must be corrected with F.-J. Thonnard, or another good Philosophy textbook.
I've never read it, but God willing I will someday. Too many people have recommended it to me.
I've never read them. Recommended by Mr. Nirmal Savio Paul.
