Read the Aztecs. If you start with the Greeks you'll feel like you haven't finished unless you read all western philosophy. Aztec philosophy actually has an end.

Start with Harry Potter and move up to ASOIAF

Anyshing by thies men!

OP Here, is there any specific greek/aztec philosophers? I dont understand how to go around buying books etc, would I look for a certain author or just use internet based sources? I prefer reading from a book, my brain scrambles letters on screen for some reason, so online reading is a hassle.

Read about the history of philosophy before going deep into anything. Know how one thing developed into another.

Read Maggee's book, it will give you the who's who and who to read

I think >>>/his/phil would be able to help you.

Afterall we are /lit/, not /phil/

Start backwards and move forward, every philosopher ever was influenced by someone before them

Follow the /lit/ sticky chronologically

Is it the Spanish?

Its probably the Spanish.

If you don't want an in-depth (and costly) runthrough, read Crito, Apology and Euthyphro. Move onto Aristotle's Metaphysics and see if anything in particular grabs you. From there you can just follow your interests and read whichever schools of thought take your fancy

Just started with the Greeks today, got around to finishing Euthyphro.

Fucking kek'd in the beginning before cross examination shit got real, Socrates is a baller.

Make sure to follow a good set of footnotes. You don't want to miss out on the infamous Plato puns

Honestly, when he was saying shit like "Something seen isn't seen, its seen because it is in a state of seeing" got me confused as fuck. And I had no clue what it had to do with what Piety was or how the argument went together.

So I'mma have to refresh this pleb mind and go over it a few times

This is great. The ME philosophy section is scarce so if someone is interested in that, I recommend muslimphilosophy.com

>I am a Marxist and an atheist, my main interests in philosophy are Poststructuralism, Structuralism, Critical Theory, Lacanian psychoanalysis, Schelling, Schopenhauer and Philosophy of Music

Fucking dropped, Heil Hitler.
