What book/books should every philosophy enthusiast have on their shelf?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. Plato's Republic. The most famous work from the person whose works have most influences/founded Western philosophy.
2. Voltaire, Collected Works. Great example of Enlightenment thought, but also a blistering satire of the foolishness of many fallacious lines of reasoning. Also, he's every bit as funny today as he was then.
3. Kant, Critique of Pure Reason. Probably the most influential philosophical text of the last several hundred years.
4. Lao-Tze. An example of non-Western philosophy from the founder of Taoism.
5. Hoffmann, Nothing So Absurd. Actually a very readable, interesting book on the history of Western philosophy, with some interesting discussion on the cultural history that encouraged various developments in philosophy. Also, it's good for everyone - even the experts - to have a general introduction to a topic both as a reference, and in order to lend out to friends.
