So where do you start with Philosophy ?

>Inb4 The Republic
I got halfway through before dropping the book, something something music is bad someething something hypothetical cities.

I just want to get in on the guenon shitposting.

guenon posters know next to nothing about philosophy outside of their beloved author
you'll be ok

Fun fact:
The guy getting executed in this photo was a Vi et Cong death squad member caught red-handed after murdering the family of a NV cop's family.
Fun fact 2:
The guy shooting him later opened a pizzeria in DC

Fun fact 3: the army guy with the helmet went on to enter into dancing with the stars: vietnam and achieved 2nd place

this looks like a meme list. So I have to read up on mythology, the iliad and the trojan war to read plato and aristotle? What about all the other philosophers where are they listed?

Philosophy is a bit beyond you. Start by flushing yourself down the toilet.

Read "A New History of Western Philosophy" to get some grasp of the history of philosophy, then go to the greeks.

You don't start Plato with the Republic
Start with Gorgias, or Meno, or Protagoras

Based. Dont' read shit that doesn't interest you. Start with Guenon. Or with Nietzsche. They're both retarded so you don't need prior reading to be part of the retarded /lit/ group that pretends to understand philosophy

this
but seriously OP, starting with the Greek is a meme but a useful one and philosophy being a game of authors answering to each other, it's better to start at the beginning

Unironically fun facts. It's like reading Drozdovsky Under Fire, the scenes in which Bolshevik commisars and other party members get punished for their antihuman behavior, sometimes by deserting conscripts. Fills me with joy.
