# Thinker's Library

De Thinker's Library (Bibliotheek voor Nadenkenden) is een reeks van 140 kleine hardcover boeken, uitgegeven tussen 1929 en 1951 voor de Britse Rationalist Association door Watts & Co. De serie bestaat uit een selectie van essays, literatuur en uittreksels uit grotere werken van verschillende klassieke en hedendaagse humanisten en rationalisten.
Elke deel bestaat uit een eponiem essay, soms gevolgd door een verzameling van relevante essays van dezelfde auteur, of een inleidende uittreksel uit een groter werk van die auteur. Elke afwijking hiervan wordt uitgelegd door de titel van het betreffende boek. Alle niet-Engelse teksten werden gepubliceerd in het Engels.
