Lord, have mercy.

I'm not even one of the rabid Continental haters, but there's an incredible amount of philosophy that's gone on on this side (read: west) of the English channel. You owe it to yourself to read Whitehead and Parfit.

I suppose I should be thankful Zizek didn't slither his way into that image.

Founder of process philosophy and the author of REASONS AND PERSONS. Ask a philosopher about personal identity, and the inevitable teletransporter hypothetical you will receive will be straight out of Parfit.

Start with the Greeks. If there's already certain philosophers you're interested in you might want to check out their minor works, some have less serious publications that can be read with little to no prior knowledge, Schoppy's Essays and Aphorisms comes to mind. Of course don't focus solely on those, get to those Greeks m8.

If your are new to philosophy it would probably be better to start with some basic introduction. Something by Nigel Warburton or Nagels What does it all mean ? Then continue with an introduction to Ancient Philosophy or some specific philosopher like Plato or Aristotle. It will be much easier to understand their arguments and the context in which they are making them.

Definetely not this, especially starting with Nietzsche. It always lend to misconceptions of both Classic greek philosophy and German Idealism.
And I'm not saying that Nietzsche isn't a good read but I believe that it's better to read his works with, at least, sturdy philosophy knowledge before hand.
If you are starting with the Greeks I recommend you to start especially with Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Anaxagoras, The researches on these 3 philosophers are pretty good in Guthrie's "A History of Greek Philosophy", also, On Heraclitus Rodolfo Mondolfo has a very nice book.

There isn't a serious Philosopher alive who would agree with you. Medieval Philosophy made a huge comeback 50 years ago, and Neo Thomism was and still is a fairly big position in Academic Philosophy. GEM Anscombe was a Neo Thomist, to give one example.
