I have some topics on which I need book suggestions, if anyone knows of such things...
- A meta-ethical analysis of utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and deontology. I don't mean meta-ethics as a dimension of realism and anti-realism or any of the subcategories therein (because frankly I think Michael Huemer's Ethical Intuitionism is the only book anyone needs on the topic), I mean an assessment of the logical, phenomenological, ontological, and/or metaphysical implications of the three above.
- Some kind of book about the philosophy of chemistry, if such a subcategory exists.
- A description and analysis of language, specifically its structures, commonality/universalities, and the mental implications it entails in the human mind on the whole. I don't mean how did language develop. I mean something like "why does every language have verbs?"
- A description of identity, both in objects and persons, that actually makes sense, is convincing, and is coherent. Included in this could be the idea of brains as mere receivers, and an elaboration on such ideas.
- A reader on realism that includes perspectives on logic from and Aristotelian perspective as well as those that might be entailed in a non-Euclidean universe or dimensions above our own. This one is hard to describe. In short, I want a book that outlines multiple theories of logical realism in which one holds that God is not bound by logic or mathematics, if that makes sense (and it may not, as I have never seen it done convincingly).
- Something on the four main schools of law for Sunnis Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali schools) and one for Shi’ites (Ja‘fari)
- The philosophy of infinities, and different perspectives about it. I read one and it was terrible.

If you're actually serious about any of this, and I sure hope you aren't, here are a few things I'll put here, because I'm bored, and I believe everyone should have read them.
>Some kind of book about the philosophy of chemistry
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/chemistry/
>A meta-ethical analysis of utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and deontology
Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals
>A description and analysis of language
Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Claude Lévi Strauss' Tristes Tropiques
R.v.o Quine's Word and Object
>The philosophy of infinities
There is no such thing, but you might want to have a look at The Emperor's new Mind by Roger Penrose

Start with Anscombe's Modern Moral Philosophy
