this tbqh. it's super engaging, easy, and short. Hollingdale's intro will give your friend a broad sense of the history of philosophy, too.

>midget vs 5' 8"
were there any non-manlet philosophers

>>9095657
Start him off with Hegel. Cause Hegel is basically the foundation that all other philosophers base their works on - everything is building on or reacting to Hegel's thought. And the older stuff is properly misunderstood when not seen through the prism of the Absolute Spirit. In short, itt's impossible to get into philosophy through any other way without stumbling around like a momo not knowing what you're doing and ridiculing yourself in front of everybody else.

Phänomenologie des Geistes is the prolegomena to all other philosophy.

>>9095786
I'm actually ok with this.

And this is why you should never take advice from 4chan seriously.

>>9095657
"Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction" probably is the way to go.

>>9095773

Kierkegaard was 6'2 like literally all danish men.

>>9095823
So he was a manlet for his country.

>>9095657
If he reads Spanish, Principios de filosofía by Carpio is excellent. I like it more than the English introductions that are usually recommended.

>>9095657
Ik it's somewhat for children but Sophie's World is what got me into philosophy at around 15, good clear (but not reduced) history of philosophy in an easily readable book. If he's more the visual type then you might want to opt for the half-decent youtube crashcourse philosophy which is extremely simplified and a bit...shit,... but it's a start.

>>9095657
a little history of philosophy

>>9095823
maybe when you stretched him out flat

>>9095786
>Everything is building on or reacting to Plato's thought
You're completely right anon.

>>9095657
You can't convince anybody of anything. He will come to philosophy if God wills it.

>>9097854
this is the only reasonable advice

>>9095773
>jean-paul sartre
JUST

>>9098047
JUST PAUL-SARTRE

>>9095665
I dont want to waste time reading old stories. I just want the ideas.

Must I really read into mythology to understand philosophy? I don't think so.

>>9099771
Jesus christ why are 18 years old able to post here

>>9099771
Nein, mein Liebling. You must read mythology to understand your life.

>>9100197
>Reading mythology in order to grasp philosophy.

>>9095657
honestly just read some good intro to philosophy and like said >>9095786 go into hegel
it is 21st century and philosophy is no longer a footnote to plato (lmfao)

Get out of here, faggot. The plays only hold value as a historical curiosity, for understanding Attic society. They are trash, though.
