These are books or book series but can give you different pathways into whatever you're interested in. - Try graphic novel versions that intro you to philosophers / concepts. At LAPL, we have the "Introducing..." series[1]. - The "Very Short Introduction" series are indeed short and cover the basics[2] - Don't look down on "For Dummies". I thought "Existentialism For Dummies" was a good overview. You can skim them pretty quickly too since within a chapter they may repeat the same theme over a few times from different angles / examples. - Ask yourself what it is you're interested in. Is it something specific about philosophy? "Does life have meaning?" "How can I be a good person?" etc or do you only want a general overview (which some of the courses mentioned in other posts may cover) [1] https://lapl.overdrive.com/search/series?query=Introducing...&sortBy=newlyadded https://lapl.overdrive.com/search/series?query=Introducing.....
