Any recommendations on philosophy books. Never read one in my

The Greeks.

I've just finished At The Existentialist Cafe by Sarah Bakewell. Pretty good desu and it's made for people new to philosophy.

Is Aristotle worth reading?

Which of his books do I read after finishing the essential 5-8 Plato dialogues?

read some general introduction you dumb faggot then go for the philosophers that pique your interest the most.

Existentialism is pseudo-philosophy

I'm not pretending to be a philosophy when all I offer is poetic musings on consciousness.

Okay

Yes. Read The Organon, Physics, Metaphysics, On the Soul, and Nicomachean Ethics.

Be aware he is probably the most difficult philosopher to understand properly.

I would read some Greeks, and then some Christian philosophy.

If you want a secondary source, there's a graphic novel called "Action Philosophers" that got me into the subject as a teenager. It's an engaging and pretty good survey of all the major thinkers, though it gets a number of things wrong.

As for actually diving into the stuff, I think Hume and Aristotle are both easy enough to read -- they actually make claims about the world that you can think about for yourself, and that's the gratifying part of reading philosophy.

But yeah, there's not really one correct starting place. Just figure out what your big questions are and follow those. Philosophy is supposed to serve you, despite all the bantering that goes on here.

I am in the same boat. I'm almost done with platos 5 dialogues and I have a copy of republic.

Next I have a bunch of nithchzhe and other things like leviathan, the social contract, and the prince. What else am I missing if I just wanted an introduction to everyone's important works? I know Aristotle. So what? Like his politics or rhetoric books?

READ IT. Honestly once you've read the Greeks there's no point in continuing, everything after is just Christian and Postmodern hogwash aside from Stirner. If we stopped listening to Lacan and more of Plato everything would be fixed.
