from child

when you can piss the strongest stream in the bathroom at school

t. retards

This. The first book I ever read was Spinoza's Ethics at 4 years old.

You could start reading stuff like Meditations or the Tao-Te-Ching by 14, probably.

There's no need to read that stuff at any age.

Whenever the urge strikes you, cunt. If you're not interested as a child, don't read it. If you are, then read it. If you still don't want to read it as an old man, don't read it.

There's no """optimal age""" to start. You can take a kid to /litcore/, but you can't make him understand it.

Fucking simple.

You're a huge fag.

when your interested

This, the earlier the better. If you start any later than about 13 you'll always be so far behind that catching up is impossible.

This applies to literally anything.

>If you start any later than about 13 you'll always be so far behind that catching up is impossible.

Do you honestly believe this? Are you a brainlet?

Begin with The Tao of Pooh and Schopenhauer's essay on womens-
6 or so.

>catching up

Plato himself says around the age of 35 or something

If you’re young you’ll risk pursuing it out of vanity, trying to get recognition from women, peers or in order to achieve a livelihood

Well start with the stone age and study cave paintings, move forward from there. Eventually, you will know all that is currently known for one second, then a new thing will be known.

You're never too young or too old to misinterpret philosophy

Never, philosophy is kinda gay

Hannah Arendt used to read Kant at 14. Russel Kirk read Marx when he was 12. It depends on how smart you are.

The study isnt true philosophy until intent is purified, until youve overcome the youthful will to use wisdom for honor or to gain power over others. When life has given you enough experience to know humility then you may be graced with the knowledge granted to initiates which knowledge is the point of departure and is given by revelation from the supreme Nous. Thus plato was correct in the republic when he said 30.

>t. Just making stuff up
