PLEASE do not take this route, this is only useful for academia. I guarantee you will be more philosophical literate after sitting down and reading Aristotle's Metaphysics than you will reading
>Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction, 4th Edition By Michael J. Loux
I have a degree in philosophy. The people in philosophy classrooms who do the work read textbooks. The philosophy students who actually care about philosophy read primary texts. I think I bought 2 textbooks in my entire degree and I graduated at the top of my class. Only rely on secondary sources when you are struggling with the primary text, and, wherever possible!!!! NEVER READ A SECONDARY TEXT ON AN AUTHOR YOU HAVEN'T READ IN PRIMARY!!!!!!! This isn't physics, you aren't looking for the most up to date formulas. This is an engagement with the dialectic of human thought. Take it seriously.
