Where to start with philosophy?

[n9wiff]

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.
