A Dialog on Personal Identity and Immortality - This one's my favorite. On his death bed, a friend tries to persuade a philosopher that existence of an afterlife is possible by arguing that souls exist. It has one of the best endings that I have read in the non-fiction category.
Plato's Republic - Through Socratic questioning, an argument is made for what the best possible city looks like. The following question is also answered: "Is it better to be evil and have everyone think you are virtuous or is it better to be virtuous and have everyone think you are evil?"
Descartes - An Analytical and Historical Introduction - Descartes starts from assuming nothing. At first, he doubts his existence, but comes up with the argument "I think, therefore, I exist." Then Descartes attempts to prove the existence of God through his famous ontological argument, which is based on a definition instead of empirical evidence. Although Descartes is hard to follow, Dicker beautifully clarifies the arguments of Descartes.
