Gday /his/, so a friend of mine gave me Alain de Bottons "Consolations of Philosophy".
It was an extremely intestine read not so much for the consolations it gave but because it was my first insight into any philosophical thought and it has made me want read further, but where do I begin?
Can I jump into the deep end of the great classical Greeks?
Is that even the deep end?
Should I read something similiar to Consolations where an author uses multiple philosphers?
I would prefer to start with a classical Greek.
Plato kinda comes off like a fag whilst Socrates and Aristotle seem based but I really don't know enough to have my opinion be valid.
Pic unrelated

does this have anything to do with Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy?

It's not mentioned in the book, no.
It seems like an interesting read however

Try Sir Anthony Kenny's history of philosophy. Nice and comprehensive. Don't fall for the Russel meme.

Niggah u wot.
There are no books passed on from Socrates.
We know him as a figure from Plato`s dialogues.
I like Plato more than Aristotle but I do think that Aristotle is easier to comprehend.
I would suggest to read the nicomachean ethics if you want to start with classic Greek philosophy.
