[Anonymous No.23559814]

Based on the image and the contents of your post you should follow the traditional /pol/ philosophy chart. 1/2

Just start with Plato. You can ask Chatgpt to give you a list.

This. Not even trying to be funny. If you're brand new to this shit start small. And if you see words you don't know the meaning of, look it up in a dictionary/thesaurus.

Thanks for proving me right.

In general yes. You should try to learn philosophy in chronological order.

The greeks , unironically.
Philosophy isn’t a magic pill for better life , but it takes a lot of strength and balancing to achieve better life with the help of philosophy. Stoicism has the power to create robots with no sentiments; it is good as long as one understands ethics. It is better to learn ethics and politics (interpersonal relationships ) before proceeding to stoicism. You should read also Bhagavad-Gita— highly recommended reading.

Read "A New History of Western Philosophy". It goes through pretty much all of it in 1100 and 4 parts. Part 1: Ancient; 2: Medieval; 3: Rise of Modern; 4: Modern philosophy.
They use this at university as well. If you don't have an attention span you can get the 550 page illustrated edition

Picrel is much shorter and more suitable if you know absolutely nothing

The best book to read for this is Passion of the western mind by Richard Tarnas.

The first philosopher that you should read is Plato. Plato's apology is a perfect introduction. Ask GPT if you don't believe me or believe other anons above me.
That said, Plato also makes a lot of references to Homer (Iliad and Odyssey) so the readings will be more enjoyable if you read those.

Start with whatever you're interested in, then work your way backwards through whatever they were influenced by.

Start your experience with Rene Guenon "The Crisis of the Modern World".
