For philosophy, I recommend A History of Western Philosophy by W. T. Jones. It's a good overview, providing both extensive quotes from primary sources and good summary/analysis of the material.
A little less sure for physics, but The Feynman Lectures are classics.
- mpobrien 17y agoAnother vote for The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Probably the closest thing to "the" textbook on physics out there.
- mikebike 17y agoThe Feynman lectures are notorious for being very popular among readers who already understand the physics, but difficult for those learning the physics for the first time.
