what order do i read these? first time reading non-pop philosophy.

>>9715080
you read them in chronological order
that is: GS --> Z --> BGE
good choices too

>>9715080
>>9715091
really good group to read in that order
the GS leads into Zarathustra really nicely (I believe book 5 of GS was specifically inserted later for that purpose) and BGE was specifically written as a more prosaic and systematic follow-up to Zarathustra

Thank you very kindly, Anons.

Since you guys know about Philosophy, I also managed to find some other books. In which order should I read these 'trains' of Philosophy? So I'm thinking I'll do Nietzsche, then Plato, then Stoicism, and then Machivelli?

I have
>The Republic by Plato
>The Apology by Plato
>Meditations
>Stoicism and the Art of Happiness
>machiavelli-il-principe
>Hercalitus

How likely am I to kill myself after this?

>>9715110
Just throw in some Kierkegaard and Heidegger so you don't go full retard

Hey OP, if thou are truly interested in philosophy, why don't follow the complete path since the beginning?

Always start with the Greeks.

>>9715080
You aren't going to understand Zarathustra unless you've read Beyond Good and Evil. Even then, it's hard to understand.

>>9715110
not likely to kill yourself at all. get ready to embrace reason.

Read Apology but read Euthyphro first if you can/want. Then Crito, Phaedo, and a handful of other essential Plato (find this elsewhere because I'm far from a final say), and then The Republic. Aurelius can be read at any time in between the rest and just like Plato should be re-read. I didn't read the pre-socratics but i've read my cicero: read Heraclitus before or after, just make sure Plato gets priority to re-reads.

>not starting with the greeks
>heraclitus but not parmenides

hahahaha

>>9715080
I haven't read The Gay Science but the other too were excellent. Read BGE before Thus Spake, though, its a good introduction to the themes of the latter and Nietzsche's principles/styles in general.

>>9715110
As usual, chronological order so:
Heraclitus
Apology
Republic
Stoicism and the Art of Happiness*
Meditations
Il Principe

*it's a contemporary book but it's an overview of stoicism including Ancient Stoics before the Romans, so we'll treat him as introductory secondary lit
