answers7: i guess you can start by the basics (Plato, Aristotle)..Now
you are talking i guess about existential philosophy. Some
philosophers you should real is Kant, Sartre, Nietzsche. (Nietzsche is
kinda hard to understand, so leave it for the end) <br>
<br>
And if you do not now the basics, i wouldtotally recommend you
philosophy intro books. (search for introduction to philosophy books)
answers8: Kinda hard to answer without more detail. I would suggest a
good History of Western Philosophy (assuming you're interested in
Western, not Eastern philosophies). I know you're not asking for
advanced texts, but if you do get to that stage (most people do
eventually) then my favourites are Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida,
Julia Kristeva, Elizabeth Grosz; but they are rather difficult to
understand without a grounding in the basics first.
answers9: I suggest you start here by listening to some of the
"Philosophy Talk" episodes. The current one is apropos: <a
