In all honesty the more philosophy you can study the better because it exposed you to different modes of thinking which is at the very least fun

I've had this copy and pasted to a text file for future use (when I start getting into philosophy). Would you guys agree with this person? Should Kant be read later on?
"It's no OP's fault. If people are telling him to read these books, then the problem is with them, not with him. The correct approach to philosophy as advocated my most importat universities and professors, is to read INTRODUCTORY BOOKS FIRST.
These books, OP, you are going to understand:
Philosophy: the basics, by Nigel Warburton (general intro)
Justice, by Michael Sandel (on ethics)
Mind: a brief introduction, by John Searle (on the philosophy of mind)
And read a book on critical thinking, which is totally essential, such as Weston's A Rulebook for Arguments.
Also, a great resource is Warburton's podcast Philosophy Bites, full of interviews with philosophers about hundreds of subjects.
By the way, when you decide to read a classic, do use some sort of guide or companion, so that it will be easier for you to understand.
ABOVE ALL, ignore these people on Veeky Forums who tell you to start by reading Marx and Kant, for Marx and Kant were intellectuals writing for intellectuals, and you are not yet one. You are a beginner, and you should read books written for beginners. And let me tell you: most people who read Marx, Kant, Hegel (and all people who read Deleuze, Derrida, Lacan) do so only to feel superior, and wouldn't be able to have a single proper, honest discussion about their wors, so you shouldn't feel any envy towards them."

yup, that is some kind of history/important authors list
> everyone get mad now bc your own personal tragedies are not specifically addressed by [author] and so you feel entitled to dismiss the entirety of [author]
