See this post for the beginning of the list, and the premise.
6. Upheavals of Thought - Martha Nussbaum
A thoughtful and emotional book arguing that emotions contain more thought than they're given credit for.
7. Descartes's Error - Antonio Damosio
Sort of the flipside of #6: rational thought requires emotions -- contrary to the traditional belief that reason and feelings are distinct mental faculties that "d[on't] mix any more than oil and water."
8. Ruling Passions - Simon Blackburn
Similarly, this would go very well with #6 and #7. The basic position is: ethics depends on emotions, yet this doesn't mean that ethical principles are "relative" or "subjective." There's also an intriguing tangent on the connection between aesthetics and ethics.
9. Is There a Duty to Obey the Law? - Christopher Heath Wellman & Alan John Simmons
Well? Is there?
10. Lifting the Fog of Legalese - Joseph Kimble
Trying to send "null and void" into the void.
