Try the "philosophise this" podcast.

Philosophy wasn't really my thing but I started listening to it and am both enjoying it and learning.

Not OP. Is this an intimidating, 1000-page volume?

start with the greeks

>>2008948
Def start with Greek philosophy. I went from Plato directly into elightenment it was a solid enough bridge literally just start reading anything though.

>>2008975

Don't hit source material until you understand generally what's going on in the source.

No, it's an intimidating 2000 page volume.

the greeks not a bad thing to read through, but are legitimately skippable, as a majority of their arguments are flawed. they are more of a "history of philosophy" thing, which isn't bad. you can begin modern philosophy with hume, and all you need to know from descartes is his most popular quotation.

I would recommend hume, then husserl or stirner, and by then you should understand phenomenological reasoning, what "knowledge" is, non-cognitivism, things of this nature. technically these are the most logically grounded views in interpreting reality, one that only science can truly expand upon if possible at this point. until then, interpreting reality is likely as "solved" as it can be, since the mid eighteen hundreds by german phenomenologists.

this might seem like a joke but it's actually true. a vast majority of philosophical material makes jumps in reasoning in their bases, is based off of subjective reasoning or derives an "ought" from an "is". this is why the greeks aren't necessarily relevant to understanding philosophy. it's like learning wrong math to help you understand correct math. wtf why?

The whole of Western philosophy is your oyster if you devote a couple of years to Plato and Aristotle

STAY AWAY FROM OUR FLUIDS

Read Thus Spoke Zarathustra. You should notice that it makes no fucking sense.

Then read it again in a couple of years after you've read a bunch of other philosophy and notice how it makes perfect sense.

Second for this. Great little introduction, and it's only like 70 pages.

After that, I'd get your hands on Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Wittgenstein.

Once you're done with them, feel free to branch out. Most of these suggestions from other people are very niche philosophers, and reading them in vacuum does no good.

Watch s1 of Psycho Pass and search up the philosophers that the villain cites.
