Descartes  ·  4063 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: To anyone interested in getting started with philosophy

I haven't read the book either, but I see the value in simplifying things and presenting it in a certain way. I feel like if they explain the basic concept well enough (or as basic as you can get with guys like Kant, whom I struggled with), it will encourage the reader to research the ideas further. Sometimes if I want to see if a certain philosopher will interest me, I'll see if there's anything on Philosophy Bro first because it's entertaining and gives me a good introduction to the topic before I have to dive into the deeper thinking.
