Where to start with philosophy? - n9wiff - 26-01-2025
Any good places to start with?
This Slavoj guy is way too cool, I need to understand the subject properly to make sure he isn't just a crock of shit spewer.

ITT recommend books for a beginner to start with
Or concepts to start digging around
I'll compile and come up with an efficient way to start my journey
C minimise mistakes.

pick a topic you are interested in then start by reading philosophical articles from the online encyclopedias on it
then maybe take it from there dig further in
russells book albeit very readable is too dense
I read up until the early christian stuff a few years ago (then interrupted by some other stuff I had going on and never returned) but if you asked me anything specific about the book I wouldnt be able to answer you.
That's because its hard to make a memorable impression to someone on topics new to them that they are naturally not interested in.

In order:
Pre-Socratics - Find an anthology.
Plato and Aristotle - Find an anthology.
Locke - An Essay on Human Understanding
Descartes - Meditations
Kant - Selections from Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Judgment.
Husserl - Selections from Ideas
Freud - Introductory Lectures
Don't try to understand them just read the words and if you get stuck keep going.
Pre-Socratics: Discuss the nature of reality.
Plato and Aristotle: Discuss humans thinking about the nature of reality.
Locke: You are sensation.
Descartes: You are not sensation.
Kant: You are sensation and are not sensation.
Husserl: What did Kant assume
Freud: What did Kant assume
