I think in many cases the old philosophers are still very readable, but make sure you get a modern translation. Publishers like to reprint 60-100 year old public domain translations, which often makes the material very inaccessible. Get a good copy from a still-breathing translator of anything like Plato and You'll likely enjoy it. Other more modenish ones: Descartes - "Meditations" Rawls - "lectures on the history of moral philosophy" Or some modern ones like Alain de Botton
