This is quoting Hume... I always find it hard to get to understand these figures, because I feel I need to know who influences them, but then I need to know who influences them... and so on.
What is the best way of getting summaries of philosophy from as close to the beginning as possible?
- JeffreyKaine 11y agoStudy philosophy from it's base principles. Start with pre-socratic philosophers and keep reading until you get to modern day. The book "Sophie's World" does a great intro here and it a really great weekend read. http://www.amazon.com/Sophies-World-History-Philosophy-Classics/dp/0374530718 http://www.amazon.com/Sophies-World-History-Philosophy-Class...
- chris_wot 11y agoWill do - thanks!
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoNot sure about "close to the beginning" but Will Durant's "The Story of Philsophy" is a great survey.
