Time and western man, Men without Art, Art of being Ruled. I like other philosophers too, but tbqh Time and Western Man is a brilliant introduction to philosophy as a whole; it deals with currents and ideas which are still prevailing, detailing the history of their developments, and relating them to the ancients. I don't think that you could get a better introduction; the first half is mostly literary criticism, but it is critiquing the authors on grounds which are expanded on in the second and third books; you can easily understand the philosophical criticism through concrete examples of such ideas, provided through the authors he discusses first.

Plato (&Plotinus)
Aristotle
St. Augustine
Descartes
Kant
Hegel
Husserl
Heidegger (&Gadamer)

he's the one who said that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it

he's also one of the best prose stylists of English nonfiction. he is like an English Schopenhauer in terms of technical skill and like Schopes is more of a philosophile than a philosopher

Plato
Aristotle
Xenophon
Rousseau
Wittgenstein

Ignore all Hegelposters. Nobody has ever actually read Hegel. They're all pretending.

my man do you honestly think the organon is less relevant than de motu animalium or meteorologica?

>platonist can't count to five
lmao

this, but he should be read alongside Schlegel

Descartes
Voltaire
Nietzsche
Heidegger
Wittgenstein

What's the point of reading philosophy?

Most based answer I've ever seen on this board. God bless you.
