1. start with Descartes

this is all shitty advice.

listen, OP. metaphysics is a big fucking topic because it deals with reality. until you can get an overview of the different families of thinking you're not really gonna have a handle on metaphysics. focus on ontology, theology, epistemology, and other foundational philosophical modes in the mean time.

Eventually, you'll ask, do I read the Buddhists next? Or Heidegger? Or The (Neo?)Platonists? Or Kant? Or the Idealists? -- each philosopher who deals with essential issues will have to talk about "reality" at some point. That's when you can squeeze out what they REALLY think!
