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.
cool thanks. yea i remember reading Sartes biography and reading about Simone. ill check that out. ill see about that last one and Thomas Reids too.
