Fap to the French
stop reading based on geographical location.
By this point you should have a firm grasp on differing positions of philosophy.
Now you can just go absolutely ape shit and read w/e the fuck you can get your hands on.
try spinoza.
>geographical location
its more about the time period, faggot, when people say "start with the greeks" they mean the classics, not whatever modern shit greeks are putting out about how poor their country is
Ok, fair point.
Substitute geographical location with time period.
Still have the same opinion
skip through until you get to Wittgenstein
Aquinas and Chaucer, nibelungelied, Augustine, beowulf and whatever pre-renaissance you can find, probably.
Then the renaissance, then enlightenment, romanticism, modern and post modern and now you read anything you want to read and you'll "get" it.
Or so it goes. Supposedly the idea of starting with the greeks and continuing with the Romans is to have an understanding of where ideas come from and how they develop with the ages. On that note, you should read the KJB
>renaissance, enlightenment, romanticism
Mostly dangerous propaganda
>"stop going by time period"
>"maybe spinoza next"
Considering that most people will never read neoplatonic philosophy, isn't Spinoza actually next chronologically (except for Descartes)? Assuming that "resume with the romans" included some Jewish history and the Bible.
Mingle with the Medievals
Restart with Descartes
