What books should I start with to gid gud at Philosophy Anonymous Tue Aug 13 22:54:57 2019 No.13636017 [Reply] [Original]

I have never read a single philosophy book in my life and everything I know about the subject a absorbed via osmosis from 4chan.

What are some of the first books I should start with to stop being a brainlet?

Unironically start with the Greeks. Read some pre-Socratics, Penguin has a good collection of some, then move to Plato, then move to Aristotle. After them read some Roman philosophers, there aren’t many, then you can really skip most medieval philosophy becuase it was just regurgitating Platonism. Then move to early modern philosohers like Descartes, Spinoza, and Hume. Then into the big boys of German Idealism: Kant and Hegel. Then onto other modern philosophers like Marx, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche.
