I don't have any, but was planning to read "Think" and "the Problems of Philosophy" as my own introduction.

and not aristotle

i don’t mean leave aristotle out entirely, but far better off starting with the pre-Socratics or even just straight Plato if this is your first foray into philosophy, which can be presumed from their wording

Why

reading lists are dumb just start with whoever ur interested in

A read list or recommended books would be very useful for setting the outline on philosophy. An Introduction to Philosophy is sometimes better than attacking it with no guidance.

Just don’t go any farther than the stoics
Read whatever makes u calm

Been reading a lot of Putnam recently

Must read epic of Gilgamesh absolutely first

Did you ever say Yes to one joy? O my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained and entwined together, all things are in love; if ever you wanted one moment twice, if ever you said: ‘You please me, happiness, instant, moment!’ then you wanted everything to return! you wanted everything anew, everything eternal, everything chained, entwined together, everything in love, O that is how you loved the world, you everlasting men, loved it eternally and for all time: and you say even to woe:’ Go, but return!’ For all joy wants -eternity!

remember being assigned some of his readings in either a bioethics or epistemology course

What do u like about him

He’s a good writer. Straightforward & clear. Isn’t scared to challenge dominant rhetoric, even if has been established for hundreds of years.

Also a very original thinker & is very funny.

RIP Dr. Michael Sugrue, man had some great lectures summarizing staple philosophers’ fundamental arguments

Been wondering how to get started with philosophy, maybe this will be helpful

Thanks for posting this

It really upset me that he passed, his lectures enriched my life and many others

Still, one thing history tells us is that ideas seldom die even if people do

Fantastic place to start

this is a pain in the ass tbh

Always used his lectures for something to fall asleep to, RIP

sometimes it’s just like you gotta go back to the roots and say f*** the nerd s***…

@op

You should do questions of the day to try and get some traffic in here.
