0%.  I've read portions of it in history.  The only works here I've read completely are Cicero's The Republic, The Laws, The Prince, The Discourses, Two Treatises of Government, The Spirit of the Laws, On Crimes and Punishments, Candide, Common Sense, Rights of Man, and The Communist Manifesto.

Plato- Theory of the Forms
Aristotle- unmoved mover
Aquinas- 5 proofs

I'm also a fan of Origen even though he was a semi- Pelagian.

I've read Candide by Voltaire. Depressing.

I've also read large chunks of Communist Manifesto, Thus Spake Zarathustra all the way through, and I'm about to start on On Liberty.

You do know that the Communist Manifesto is like only 70 pages long (and that's with prefaces, special comments, etc. etc.), right?

How about John Stuart Mill's theory of utilitarianism, I found that theory highly accurate.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

Um where to start.

Discipline and punish- Foucault - ties in with the penal colony - Kafka
Beyond good and evil - Nietzsche
San Manuel Bueno - Unaumuno
Private irony and liberal hope - Rorty
Imagined communities - Benedict Anderson
Nonmoral nature - Stephen Jay Gould
The Origins of Totalitarianism[i/] - Hannah Arendt

See I mostly read ancient things like Plato and Aristotle. Alot of modern and postmodern works are too depressing. ^^
