What works should I read and in what order to have a good overview of philosophy?
>>
I'm reading Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, On the Old Saw, and Perpetual Peace. Does /lit/ have any advice for me?
>>
Plato/Aristotle then onto Locke/Berkeley/Hume/Hobbes

and theeeeeen?
>>
>>7232388
let me rephrase this. at what point does it switch from required reading to read this only if you're interested in this specific branch
>>
>>7232395
Read the "figurehead" works of each branch (Republic, Being And Nothingness, etc.), and then decide where you want to go from there
>>
Got this list off google. Is there anything missing or possibly redundant here?

1. Plato's Republic
2. Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
3. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae
4. Descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy
5. Hobbes's Leviathan
6. Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding
7. Berkeley's Principles of Human Knowledge
8. Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
9. Rousseau's Social Contract
10. Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
11. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit
12. Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation
13. Marx's Communist Manifesto
14. Mill's Utilitarianism

How are you supposed to understand Aquinas if you didn't read Aristotle metaphysical and logical works?
