Introduction to Philosophy

How do I introduced my complete plebeian friend to philosophy?

He's not stupid, just a pleb.

I'm thinking The Story of Philosophy, but I'm not sure he'll digest it properly.

...

this tbqh. it's super engaging, easy, and short. Hollingdale's intro will give your friend a broad sense of the history of philosophy, too.

were there any non-manlet philosophers

Start him off with Hegel. Cause Hegel is basically the foundation that all other philosophers base their works on - everything is building on or reacting to Hegel's thought. And the older stuff is properly misunderstood when not seen through the prism of the Absolute Spirit. In short, itt's impossible to get into philosophy through any other way without stumbling around like a momo not knowing what you're doing and ridiculing yourself in front of everybody else.

Phänomenologie des Geistes is the prolegomena to all other philosophy.

I'm actually ok with this.

And this is why you should never take advice from Veeky Forums seriously.

"Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction" probably is the way to go.

Kierkegaard was 6'2 like literally all danish men.

So he was a manlet for his country.

If he reads Spanish, Principios de filosofía by Carpio is excellent. I like it more than the English introductions that are usually recommended.
