Lately I have found an interest in philosophy. I would love to dig deeper into it when I get the time.
I just started reading Seneca’s Letters from a stoic and plan to read Tao te Ching next, as I always wanted to implement thoughts from Stoicism and Taoism in my life.
I’m aware that, randomly reading different philosophical works won’t give me much in-depth knowledge.
I want to know what’s a good way to go about it and the resources I could use.
You have already started, my friend
Comments be like: start by reading the philosophy topics I like and I am biased towards
How should I start?Why should I start?
Haven’t I already started? What is a ‘start’ anyway?
I really dig Philosophize This
Not as in-depth as reading books of course, but it’s very pleasant to listen to and you’ll get a rough overview of who’s who and can then go on to reading something referenced in the podcast that interests you.
I want to thank you so much for suggesting this. I’m almost caught up with all the episodes of the podcast and I’m hooked. I just wish I had the time to follow up each episode with supplementary reading.
P.S: sorry for necroposting !
Hey, glad you like it. Such an awesome series, I really admire that guys ability to grasp and summarize these concepts so aptly.
You might like Michael Sugrue, too then https://youtu.be/7Kuk35VNSEc?si=vVHbLlL_vqglSKAq He also covers literature talking about the philosophy behind those books. Also incredibly good.
