Its infinitely long, as deep as you want it to go. After you read the main authors, you start to fill in the gaps you skipped over ad infinitum.

For a complete beginner, try Plato, Aristotle, Seneca, Sextus Empiricus, Lucretius, Plotinus, Iamblichus, Proclus, St. Augustine, Boethius, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Avicenna, Averroes, Al-Ghazali, Pseudo-Dionysius, Nicholas of Cusa, Giordano Bruno, Descartes,
Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Descartes, Hume, Hobbes, Rousseau, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Marx, and Heidegger. for a framework to begin with.
