<< Just how many examples are there of simple writing combined with deep

thinking? >>

Hobbes' Leviathan. Descartes' Medittations. Galileo's Two New Sciences. Hume's Treatise and Inquiry. Berkeley's Dialogues. Anything by Bentham or the Mills, pere et fils. Mach's Analysis of the Sensations. Anything by Lenin. Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. Russell's Logical Atomism or Our Knowledge of the External; World. Moore['s Principa Ethica. Anything by Hempel, Carnap, or Reichenbach (leading figures in the Vienna Circle or logical positivists).

How's that for starters?
