   1. After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre

   2. The Crisis of the Modern World by Rene Guenon

   3. Islam and the Destiny of Man by Gai Eaton

   IMO these books are critical reading in a post-modern world to make any sense of life.

   +1 for René Guenon. I would point out his book "Crisis of the Modern World".

   "The Crisis of the Modern World" by René Guénon (1927), French mathematician and metaphysicist.

   Quoting Wikipedia, this book describes the "intellectual divide" between the East and West, and the peculiar nature, according to him, of modern civilization." [1]
