I think "Apology of Socrates" is a good one to start, specially if you never read anything about philosophy yet.

Also, you could read a book about the history of philosophy just to get acquainted to the most known thinkers throughout the centuries.

Thank you so much! I'll head for it ASAP!

mialina ☆彡 does anyone have any recommendations for starting to get into these kind of books?

First, I suggest, don't try to read a philosopher just because it is famous, instead, seek books which the main themes interests you. So, if you like art, start with "Beauty" by Roger Scruton, if you are interested in politics, maybe "The Prince" by Machiavelli will be a good one to go, or, if you like relligion, "Confessions" by Saint Augustine is the one to start, etc.

thank you, i appreciate it!!


message 8: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Nelson Jeremy Bentham-Utilitarianism.


ForestGardenGal Letters from a Stoic by Seneca would be my best suggestion.

Of the Authors you have listed, I vote for Marcus Aurelius. Start with Meditations.


message 10: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Toujours That's a great set of options you came up with. I'm happy to see Marcus Aurelius isn't too far down the results list.

Thanks!


message 12: by Dayne (new)

Dayne Camus is one of the greats, but I'd choose Nietzsche.


.•*¨*• ☼ marie ☼ .•*¨*• lol nietzsche is so pretentious thinking hes so smart and better than everyone else


message 14: by Ami (new)

Ami John Locke is missing. He is one of the most influential philosophers on political ph., moral ph., epistemology. You can't have such a list without him.
