Bump to shamalesly request a book related and that I can't find anywhere to download.

Righteous Indignation, Andrew Breitbart.
Plz guys, not available in my country.

Just start with the greeks, meaning the Iliad and Odyssey.

>>9290905
This guy is not OP.

>>9290923
Also, thanks for this suggestion. I see them in the suggested reading list. Can you explain to me how this will help me? I'm not asking you to do so rhetorically. I really want to know why it's important.

Will Nicomachean Ethics help? At all?

Also, will taking notes and writing about what I'm reading help me learn? How should I study?

Yeah, I'm not OP. I've already read Homer, Aristotle and most of the greeks. I'm looking for some harder, a little bit more actual red pills at the moment. Breitbart is not on Libgen, sadly.

OP: Thomas Sowell - A Conflict of Visions or Basic Economics. Watch any of his interviews on YT to a quick fix.

Start with: Iliad -> Odyssey -> Plato -> Aristotle
This should give you a good background and you can go on from there as you please.

The best way to improve yourself intellectually is to avoid voicing your opinion. Chances are you have plenty more to learn.

For Plato I would suggest: Apology->Crito->Phaedo->Symposium->Republic
as mandatory.

A good life is found in an honourable death. There is no greater happiness.

>>9290995
Thanks for the suggestion.

Also, unashamed bump. Curious as to what the others who peruse the board have to say.

aristotle is the peak of greek culture

nicomachean ethics is an excellent place to start, supplement with macintyre's after virtue to get a full historical scope of aristotle's ethics, and the best philosophical takedown of sjw emotivism

>>9291206
Thanks for the advice!

>>9291320
To add to what others already said: yes, take notes. It takes much longer but beats finishing a greek work and not knowing what the hell it was about.

>first true empirical scientist
>created not one, but two new fields (logic and biology)
>wrote on every other aspect of human intellectual thought, from poetry to rhetoric to metaphysics and contributed to many of them
>one of the first writers to cite others (even if sloppily) and use them as a starting point of investigation
>his collective works form the sum of human thought up to his life

I have an intellectual hard on for aristotle, please don't shit talk him senpai

>>9291206

>macintyre takes down SJW emotivism
>"guys now remember that slavery happened and you must always apologize for this as part of your collective identity"

this is bait

I don't believe these two things aren't connected.

If this is what you want from philosophy you're a pretty sad person.
