Just got these today. I now have the first five Foxfire books. Bottom book, in case you can't read it, is "The Unnrealists" by Harvey Wickham, 1930 edition. He basically "well actually's" a bunch of people, including Einstein, in an entertaining fashion. I look forward to reading that.

I don't think it's necessary to ingest so many different philosopher's works. It's only when you've settled on a philosophy and taken it to heart that it begins to work you. Shopping around indefinitely will leave you indefinitely in doubt.

1/1

If you're serious about getting into philosophy, jumping through these works won't do much for you.

You should read the pre-socratics a bit before Plato. And from Aristotle the most important part is his metaphysics which was the base upon which christianity built their cosmological world view until the end of the middle ages, that's how important it was (also neoplatonism like Plotin that tries to reconcile aristotle with plato since their philosophies are opposed in a fair measure).

After that you can read a bit on stoicism / epicureanism / skepticism / cynicism. These were the currents that appeared after Greece exited its golden age and people tried to cope with reality -> the currents I just mentioned above (epicureanism, etc).

Then there's the philosophy which was the foundation of christianity (St. Augustine took neoplatonic + aristotelic ideas to create the theoretical frame of christianity. He also had to fend off against multiple branches of religious thought. But if you're not interested in religion particularly it's skippable.

Then you have the middle ages philosophers (in your list: boethius, anselm, thomas aquinas). They're not that essential I would say. Most of the middle ages philosophy is about interpreting the works of aristotle / plato and about logic (scholasticism especially).

Rene descartes's historical period was the scientific revolution. He tried to find a rational ground / a foundation for knowledge (by trying to find out what is the one thing of which we can be certain that it exists). From there he builds his whole philosophy, but he's also using God as a part of his system (coming from the middle ages, this is an attempt to concile science with religion in a sense). Scientific revolution happened and Aristotle's cosmological view fell from grace (that the earth is the center of the universe). Science contradicted that based on empirical observations -> Descartes comes and supports the new science by showing that we can be sure of empirical observations.

But here the list starts to lack even more heavily because you cannot reasonably read Descartes without reading Spinoza and Leibniz. After that we have empiricists like John Locke and David Hume which hit back at rationalists like Leibniz / Spinoza. Then after Hume we have one of the most important philosophers of all time (on par with Plato and Aristotle): Immanuel Kant. Maybe he's not in that list because it's a fairly difficult philosopher.

Continuing, I got no clue why mary Wollstonecraft is there. She's some kind of proto-feminist, but if you really want to read about the philosophical grounds of feminism I recommend you start with Simone de Beauvoir.

Then you have a jump all the way to Nietzsche without even mentioning other philosophers like Schopenhauer or Hegel (Hegel is pretty difficult as well, maybe that's why it's not on the list and there's a plethoa of philosophers leading up to him as well).

[Anonymous No.19428505]

>>19428479

2/2

Then after Nietzsche you don't have any mention of Marx or the more "recent" philosophy of the last century (see existentialism: Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Simone de Beauvoir as well which was mentioned).

After existentialists there are structuralists / post-structuralists like Foucault (this one's fairly important). You have Jacques Derrida with deconstructivism (though he doesn't like it to be called like that).

If you're into psychiatry you have Sigmund Freud, which founded it. Then Carl Jung, then Lacan.

Bro there's so many philosophers not mentioned on that list that are important. You get just a few of these philosophers there and from these few, only a crumb of their work, which isn't even the important part of their philosophy.

Read the sticky on /lit/, there's a link to mega folder and you have huge philosophy charts there.

Start with the greeks (with Homer preferably).
