Do you think it can stand on its own as a philosophy book, rather than just a divination manual? |

Gatekeeper posted:can you make a "best intro book" category? i never took philosophy in college and i've only seen those "perverts guide" zizek flicks so i don't know jackie fucken chan about philosophy Plato is a good intro into western philosophy his allegory of the cave is a great start to think about things Euthyphro is a good introduction into Socratic style arguments Meno is an excellent examination and introduction into the topic of Epistemology ☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭ |

also, if you are brand new in studying philosophy, jumping into reading philosophic works can be very daunting and trying to discuss philosophy with people who use tons of esoteric jargon can be intimidating and discouraging i took a lot of great philosophy courses in college, i consider myself moderately educated on the basics i highly recommend the youtube channel 8-bit philosophy , it's very short, sweet, and accessible to people approaching these things for the first time. it's also done in a fun style that i personally like (old 8-bit video games) A good podcast to listen to is The Partially Examined Life which is done by philosophy students who aim to make philosophic works accessible to non-philosophy students and is done in a rather casual conversational style, which is still rigorous enough to give you a good foundation ☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭ |

mrbradlymrmartin posted:i dont think its been just a divination manual for millenia; all the notes and wings and all really cover a lot of ground in few words I agree that in it's present form it's much more than just a divination tool, I was just saying that without the proper background the philosophical layers of it are hard to understand. |

mrbradlymrmartin posted:i find studying the I Ching to be relaxing chill and spooky all at once I own that and also the Tao Te Ching, and I vastly prefer the latter. My go-to for divination are tarot cards. I prefer my philosophies to be heavily open to interpretation according to personal experience. ---------------- |
