No. There are too many. Start with Plato and Homer.

Plato -> Aristotle -> Descartes -> Hume -> Kant
This is the core of western philosophy. After that you can read any area you want (but don't get too trapped with Plato and Aristotle as a beginner).

NOTE: I listed what I think is the best intro work to each author. Not what is considered their main most significant work. Why are some authors side by side, separated by a / ? See, it jumps around chronologically to lump them into groups.. For instance, the Stoics are all side by side even though they're separated in time. The Talmud, Bible, and Quaran are separated in time, but are together because they're all part of the monotheist abrahamic religious canon. The groups are all in correct order.
