The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele
I hear you. I like to explore philosophy with a number of teachers in the lineage; one of my favorite weekend workshops was with Harmony Slater. She’s a joy and a wealth of knowledge.
I am lucky that I get to practice with Eddie. I may be a bit biased, but I really don’t know of any other books that so succinctly ties it all together at the right level of information blending both Eastern and Western schools of thought.
Book recos:
Here is my favorite translation of the Bhagavad Gita.
I also really like this interpretation of the Yamas and Niyamas.
And my favorite Yoga Sutras.
The closest I can think of in terms of modern day explanations is the Yamas and Niyamas book by Deborah Adele. It really is a nice, practical read.
I love this book for understanding the physical practice

For the ethical/discipline base of yoga, this is a short, easy, and really helpful read. Non-harming, non-clinging, etc.

For the pure philosophy, I'm a fan of this book on Tantra(where yoga came from). It's overwhelming the first time through, but there is so much powerful knowledge locked up in here

This is a great book on mindfullness with some applicable meditation techniques framed for the modern day, but it's all based on ancient teachings

Also, the Chakra system is fascinating and Anodea Judith offers some guided meditations. This book is really helpful and accessible

And, diet. This book helped me shift my diet in a way that's been extremely helpful

These have been some of the most influential books in my practice. Hope they help!
The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice is my favorite.
