"Organon" and "Metaphysics" by Aristotle. I've found that the more I think in Aristotelian terms, the easier it is to design and model my systems.

Asking for "Best Philosophical Books" is pretty much like asking for an opinion, everyone will have a very different view. That being said, here's my view! John Stuart Mill - "Utilitarianism" (Kant be damned.) Thomas Nagel - "Moral Luck" David Lewis - "On the Plurality of Worlds" Plato - "The Republic" Aristotle - "The Metaphysics"
