I will start reading the greeks shortly but i can't find books by Thales and such, can someone please rec me a list of books to start with the greeks?

Get a book on presocratic phil

google is your friend

also if you're going to read philosophy then get some secondary literature as well, too many autodidact brainlets trip themselves up by falling for the "special snowflake independent interpretation of philosophical works" meme

thales' work, like most of the presocratics' is saved only in fragments and other people writing about them. the best and complete collection is Hermann Diels' Presocratics. Also, do as >>11237613 said. Maybe read Plato first too

Thx fren, i already practice the idea of reading one "hard" or very meaningful book and alternate it with a pulpy or simple book to help the brain relax so i was already considering just reading poetry in the middle of the phil.

>Shoulda just separated ealy and late Schelling

>Hermann Diels' Presocratics
Thank you, i found it hard to find individual work from each one of the Presocratic authors, I should read Plato before those who came before him?

You can read both Plato and the Presocratics, it does not have to be linear.

Maybe even open another path and read Descartes and Hume, they're pretty good starting points.

Aristotle maybe a little later, he's difficult and you should know your Plato before getting into his pshilosophy
