In today's interesting times, and on reading bits and pieces of this forum, I've found myself while not over my head, blowing nasal bubbles if I don't hold my head at the correct angle. I'd like to read some philosophy, classical, more recent, foundational logic. I've been thinking of picking up some Kant, but am especially things I can find on the Gutenberg Project or other public domain sources and welcome any suggestions, especially geared to understanding the foundations of how the fuck we got where we are.
