You should read Ladyman's book "Understanding Philosophy of Science". It's about the best introduction to epistemology you'll find and is ideally suited for someone who has no prior experience with philosophy. There's even a pdf download available at the second result on google.

Anything in particular?

For western phil in general read The Story of Philosophy by Bryan Magee
>>
>>8952724
reading the greeks is a meme, unless you're thinking of serious academic studies in philosophy .

Just get some general "introduction to philosophy" book, they are usually taught in high school and give a broad spectrum of the philosophical fields, pretty lightweight and short reads. Then you can choose something you find interesting and dive into it.

D-Frag, I've never watched it so I don't know how lewd it gets but yeah.

Nothing really in particular, I don't even know enough to be able to specify something. A general introduction is definitely what I want, thank you for the rec

>>8952854
You too, good advice, thank you

there's always Sophie's World if you want something really casual but informative.

>fucking bonkers
just want to say I adore that phrase

The "How to Read X" series is excellent if you wish to focus on a single philosopher
>>
>>8952724
Seriously get the comic book "Introduction to"series for philosophy. They also have them for specific philosophers. They are awesome, like a quick matrix style download of foundational information.
