/phil/osophical reading list.

Tbqh, everything you've ever going to read after reading the Greeks is basically commentary on their work.

What about people like Kant or Wittengstein? Admittedly I only have a passing familiarity with the works of most philosophers, and as of yet have gained most of my knowledge from secondary literature, but I have been led to believe that most of philosophy goes a little farther than being mere commentary on the works of the Greeks.

I think Whitehead was being intentionally hyperbolic when he said that shit.

I was being intentionally hyperbolic as well.

If you are really interested, I'd start with Descartes, and then do Hume and Kant etc. And after those perhaps do Hegel(if you can stomach it), followed by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.

At least that's what I did.

Bertrand Russell’s history of western philosophy, and is super light reading ( i kept it in the bathroom ), I'd read that for an overview and then pick up individual works based on ideas that you find interesting from there.

>reading philosophy

Why study a field that hasn't contributed anything to society in the history of ever?

>I've already got the works of the Greeks at my disposal, the pre-socratics, Plato, and Aristotle. After I finish those, where do I go from there?

St Augustine, St Aquinas, Descartes, Gödel

Everything else is shit
