Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
Plato's The Republic
Mill's On Liberty

Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.
All chapters are helpfully subdivided into short digestible passages, and include:
quiz questions to test core knowledge
discussion questions to deepen understanding
'going further' sections for advanced study
text boxes highlighting key definitions and arguments
cross-references to help students make connections.
In addition, a chapter on exam preparation contains a wealth of helpful hints and tips on revision and exam techniques.
