The Reenchantment of the World by Morris Berman. Assigned in a college course and it raised a ton of still-important questions about the foundations that our scientific and materialistic worldview(s) rest on. I'm "over" this one in a lot of ways, but it was huge at the time I read it. Mind and Nature by Gregory Bateson. Bateson was mentioned in the other book, and by the professor who assigned it. This is his most comprehensive piece of work (really his only comprehensive work -- pretty much everything else is topical papers, collaborations, interviews, etc.). It introduces systems/cybernetic thinking in an accessible and applicable way, such that they become relevant in basically any context. Edit: wrods.
