People always day "start with the Greeks" but which greeks? And then what... is Kant worth reading in these decadent times, or should I skip straight to Schmitt? Your thoughts pls
commence with the Mycenaean scribes
>>23559814Based on the image and the contents of your post you should follow the traditional /pol/ philosophy chart. 1/2
>>23559814>>235598332/2
>>23559814Just start with Plato. You can ask Chatgpt to give you a list.
>>23559833>>23559837Thank you for making me lose my time seeing a compilation as bad as this. I mean, that's the definition of a pseud midwit list.
>>23559814This. 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.
>>23559865It's the list that the /pol/fag OP deserves.
>>23559865>>23559892>contributes nothing>only whintesOh, no wonder /lit/ is shit right now, it's full of Eurotrash and /pol/whiners.
>>23559905You're the worst whiny faggot on this whole board right now, brownied.
>>23559905Feel free to go back.
>>23559907>>23559909Thanks for proving me right.
In general yes. You should try to learn philosophy in chronological order.
>>23559905>Oh, no wonder /lit/ is shit right now>now/lit/ has always been shit.
>>23559833Thank you. I will start reading through all these now
>>23559814The 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
>>23560051Picrel is much shorter and more suitable if you know absolutely nothing
>>23559814The best book to read for this is Passion of the western mind by Richard Tarnas.
