Just finished my undergrad philosophy degree. My experience is limited, but I highly recommend "Classics of Western Philosophy" by Steven Cahn if you want the raw sources.

If you wan't commentary, I can't help you there. Consider >>8299263 perhaps?

To clear things up, If you want to get into philosophy proper, I would highly recommend you cover the following at the minimum:

1) Plato's Republic
2) Plato's Apology
3) Aristotle's Metaphysics
4) Descartes' Meditations
5) Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

[I would recommend Spinoza's Ethics, Leibniz's Monadology, Kant's CPR, and Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, but those might be too advanced for a beginner]

Personally I consider the greatest piece of philosophy for general concepts, which I cited on at least 80% of my essays, to be Bertrand Russell's "Problems of Philosophy". I can't recommend it enough, though a lot of /lit/fags hate the analytics (or think Wittgenstein is superior). I expect fedora comments at least.
