If I want to get into philosophy what should I start with? Republic? Enneads? Fate/Stay Night?

>Fate/Stay Night
Sure lol. Add Muramasa to that list.
But, seriously, I started with The Metaphysics. Not particularly the best place to start, but I went back to it after a while and Aristotle becomes more cogent once you’ve finished with the Greeks. The presocratics I’d say anyway.
>>
>>25164118
Yes,start with the Republic.
Btw,after finishing this book,read some modern political philosophy (otherwise, you might turn into a pseud).
>>
>>25164127
Ignore this guy, the pseud life is the best life, metaphysics is the way to go after the republic.

pseuds who know a little about something,are worse than retards who know nothing.

Getting into philosophy is like getting into mathematics in the general sense. Many means to the same end.

>>25164247

nothing wrong with branching out

BEST ANSWER HERE

start with reading ALL the books from plato that contribute something of his theory of ideas...

then proceed to Aristotle

proceed to the Empiricists and Rationalists

end with Kant
