You've come to the right place, anon. Start with the Greeks.

Also can anyone vouch for the book selection in pic related? I’m going to pick up Mythology for sure but I’m curious if you guys would consider the other books here good/essential

i'm mainly interested in the works of Plato and Aristotle

Like many others have said, start with the Greeks. Pic semi-related. I’m in the same boat as you, and been taking it slow. Almost done with Mythology. I’ve been having trouble choosing what translation/publication to read, but I hope to make a wise decision once I get to Herodotus, Sophocles, and the philosophers.

Don't start with republic, retard
>Do not read The Republic first

Start with the Greeks

I finished reading the Bible so achieved my New Year’s resolution and currently starting with the Greeks. It’s been hard due to working everyday, but I hope to finish pic related by the end of the year.

Is there any point to reading a lot of philosophy if you aren't very intelligent? My understanding is that by studying philosophy and weighing the worldviews of many, you are able to achieve a unique and educated stab at your own worldview. Whenever I read a new school of thought, I am convinced until I read the counter arguments. I think this is due to the fact that I'm a mid wit. I can have a lot of information in my brain but I don't have the fluid intelligence to actually manipulate and apply that knowledge to make nuanced observations and conclusions. I just kind of become a sheep to whayever philosophy I read and always question what is actually true and right. It seems like those around me are so sure in their perceptions and for me it is the opposite. I have read through the curriculum starting list provided for /mu/. Thoughts?
