I need something philosophical to read.
Any suggestions?

I've read quite a bit of Aristotle and a bit of Nietzsche.

Wake up, OP. Read some Hume.

Nausea

by sartre.

assuming you don't just want to read philosophical argument.
if this is the case

inquiry concerning human understanding- hume
being and nothingness- sartre
ego and his own- stirner

Baruch Spinoza, The Ethics,if you have some time on your hands, or Theological-Political Treatise.

Anything by David Foster Wallace. If ur a ADDfag read "A supposedly fun thing I swear I'll never do again." Its a magazine article about a cruise ship, humorist and despairing. After that light reading get into his heavy shit, maybe his novels if you like fiction or my personal favorite Infinity: Everything and more. or His college these Time, Fate, Language. Cheers.

Thanks guys, anything else?

Bertrand Russels "Problems of Philosophy" 100pg overview of philosophical investigations. That's more than enough to fill your time OP. Come back and request philosophical books you like that we can suggest more from. I could give you more but I am sorry I Kant.

Kant's Three Critiques - if you feel you've got plenty of time.

They're brilliant
Understandable
Non-boring (with the possible exception of the last one).

He's pretty straight forward, it's just some of it is a little much to follow. But that's the nature of the content.

>> No.1599824

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion by David Hume
Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes

Start with Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy. Decide what you want to jump into from there. I wouldn't read any 20th century philosophy until you've got a foundation but that's just me.
