That seems decent. You'll be able to find your own path after a few books anyway. Just read Plato and Aristotle's works which interest you and go from there. Also, I'll dump a few other Phil charts so you have a few choices:

I'd say this is the best list in the thread. If you want an introduction to the topic read "a students guide to political philosophy" by Harvey Mansfield. It's very short (50ish) pages but covers the important philosophers and the ideas they contributed. It also comes with a reading list at the end of the book with recommended translations. Additionally there's Strauss's "history of political philosophy." It has great introductory essays and covers an even more exhaustive list of philosophers.

ive just started in on this list myself, thanks for the extra introductory recs. was wondering if its necessary to work through the list tier by tier, ie greeks to modernity, or if skipping around a bit is okay to keep things interesting

Beyond reading Plato and Aristotle first jumping around is fine. But I do think you should have a sense of what differentiates the periods and what the writers tried to address in their work.

I'm gonna say No, unless you do the following.
>Replace Aristotle with just Organon. Search up Aristotle Order or something. Almost always at the start.
>Replace Augustine's City Of God with Confessions, his more popular work.
>Replace Aquinas with his Shorter Summa
REMOVE;
>Weber, Schmitt, Arendt, Rawls,
Add in the following
>Laozi - Tao Te Ching
>Confusius - Analects
>Some Presocratics compilation book like First Philosophers by Waterfeild.
>Buddah - Dammapada
>Epicurus - Essentials
>Seneca - Letters From A Stoic
>Plutarch - Lives, Moralia
>Epictetus - Discourses
>Aruelius - Meditations
>Plotinus - Enneads
>Proclus - Elements Of Theology
>Montaigne - Essays
>Bacon - Essays
>Descartes - Philosophical Writings
>Locke - Two Treatises On Government
>Spinoza - Ethics
>Leibniz - Discourse On Metaphysics
>Hume - Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding
>Schoppenhaur - Works
>Stirner - The Ego And It's Own
>Kierkegaard - Either Or
>Nietzsche - Works
>Whitehead - Process And Reality
>Guenon - Introduction To The Study Of Hindu Doctrines

>Didn't see the POLITICAL classification at the top
Please disreguard my entire post. I didn't notice that it was Political Philosophy, I thought just regular philosophy.
