I have no interest in sharing authors with you people as you will steal them from me and ruin them.

>> No.17186759

Just Plato and Socrates, I havent read any other philosophers and I havent even come close to finishing Plato and Socrates either. Im still only 21 but I just got used to figuring things out on my own and learning my own truths, then put them to the test within philosophy and learn/refine ideas. I wish I read more at a younger age but I think I prefer it this way, I think I’ll get more out of philosophy at my current age instead of cramming my head full of concepts in my teens.

Nietzsche

Borges (not a 'thinker', per se, but his stories have led to thoughts that have changed how I look at things)

That's about it. I think ten is almost too much if you're talking about those who you've really studied and gone back to a lot.

Jordan Peterson and Harold Bloom. I cringe because they’re such pseuds and I’ve moved on to much more superior thinkers, but at the end of the day, I never would have gotten into reading if it wasn’t for watching them on YouTube. I think a lot of people on here can attest to that.
