Hmm... If you like Sartre and Foucault then you might like Simone de Beauvoir's The Ethics of Ambiguity. She was one of Sartre's mistresses. She's a prolific writer and this book dives deep into psychology and types of people. It's existential. However, you could just as easily get Locke, Hume, Berkeley or Leibniz. Thomas Reid's Inquiry into the human mind was my favorite history of modern philosophy read. He's clear, concise and witty. I also have a book called Philosophy of Psychology by Daniel N. Robinson.
