What are some good secondary and supplementary texts on philosophical topics? I believe this would be a great help for those like me that want to learn, but lack either the time, the skills or the tools for doing philosophy entirely on ones own. I am personally particularly interested in books on issues surrounding Kantianism, but any topic is welcome.

Thank you for your recommendation. Is there anything towards the other end of the scale? My lack of knowledge is mostly of the British empiricists and a lot of his immediate German predecessors and contemporaries like Hamann, Baumgarten, Wolff etc. Also interested in some of his more oddball influences like Swedenborg, but I suspect there might not be much scholarly work available on this.

Wilhelm Windelband was one of the leading neo-Kantians at the turn of the 20th century, look into some of his work:

Which of his works do you recommend? I would guess his Introduction to Philosophy would be chiefly concerned with the issues raised in Kantian thought, right? That's not to say I would mind checking out his other work of course, always nice with more perspectives on the Greeks.
