Question: Some good philosophers to start with!?
I'm 15, but my reading level is pretty high!. I've been interested in Nietzsche's life for a while now and thought about reading sum books by him but my fellow YAers think that it's not something I should start with!.!.!.!.!. does anyone have any good suggestions on what I should start with!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Start with the Greeks and work your way up!. I started with Socrates/Plato!. Metaphysics is usually the easiest to grasp, because you don't need any prior knowledge of social conforms or logic, et cetera!.

But feel free to start with Nietzsche!. Nobody can tell you what to read!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Let me welcome you to the world of Osho!. Go to Oshoworld!.com and you will find the most intersting topics that will lie outside your level of intelligence!. U will find it very challanging!. Osho has referred Nietzsche's a couple of times in his lectures!. Osho covers from Buddha to Lautsu to ChuantaZu!. He is not a philosofer but a master of meditation!. The best thing is that there is no place for belief in his sharing of experiences!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

aristotle, hegel, kant, r!. descartes ( western philosophers ), al farabi, al kindi, ibn sina / avicenna, al ghazali, sun tzu, confucius, mencius, buddhism, ramanuja, jainism ( eastern philosophers )Www@QuestionHome@Com

Rousseau,Voltaire,Kant etc!.!.!.!.!.
There's many of them!.I think you should not bother with what yahooer's tell you about nietzche!.If you want to read his book go for it!.
I read one of his books at 16 so no big deal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Confucius, Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Stephan Molyneux, Me ; DWww@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely Aristotle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
