Haven't read that much philosophy but sounds like you have to read Aristotle before continuing

honestly, just skip that shit for now, don't spend too long on trying to figure it out

You think that I'd understand it if I read from the direct source? I guess it makes sense, but I wanted some book for beginners before tackling the stuff directly. I didn't expect it to be this hard (the "Logic" chapter at least, up until then it was good).

I've been thinking of skipping the chapter altogether and moving on to the other ones.

Unless you speak Greek you didn't understand anything before that either. I don't know how you got that far before realizing that book wasn't for you. It's for philosophy majors who have already been studying Greeks for years.

Copleston is way too dense to start on.

Try 'A New History of Philosophy' by Anthony Kenny. (And make sure the title says 'new' and not 'brief', they're different books).

The Story of Philosophy by Bryan Magee is a 250 page DK book with lots of pictures, it's good for the very bare basics.

Both of those should be on libgen
