The Complete Penguin Great Ideas Series

The Penguin Great Ideas series offers groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers. Acclaimed for their striking look, each elegant volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-driven design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Titles contained within this series are considered to be world-changing, influential and inspirational. Topics covered include philosophy, politics, science and war.
Here is the series in its entirety, all 120 volumes (to date, 2023), in the order they were published. While it's debatable whether or not all of these ideas are 'great,' there is no debate as to the impact these groundbreaking works have had on the world. Therefore, everyone should read them and decide for themselves.
