Reading philosophy books requires several conditions: 1. To learn to ask questions, philosophical questions are actually the shortest questions, such as who are we? Where do we come from? Is there a God? What is right or wrong? 2. To learn to think about these problems by yourself, you can apply what you have learned, but the most important thing is to think independently. 3. After thinking, let's see how philosophers at all times and all over the world answered these questions (it is more necessary to see how they asked questions). You don't have to start with the original. Many philosophical books are very popular (Sophie's World is a good start). 4. In fact, the works of many philosophers are not obscure, and some works of Plato, Ducale, Spinoza, Hume, Russell and karl popper are relatively easy to understand. I strongly recommend Plato's Critto, Phaedo and Yin Hui. Although it is far from modern philosophical papers, you can clearly find Socrates' great philosophical spirit, and Plato wrote these dialogues very vividly and interestingly. With interest, you can look at some philosophical history. Russell's History of Western Philosophy is very classic, concise and easy to understand, and has a very incisive analysis of the three major philosophical schools in history. Then you can contact different philosophical topics according to your own preferences. After reading more, you will gradually find that some works that used to be obscure become easier to understand. Ps: Many people here say that learning philosophy requires talent or something to understand. Actually, studying philosophy is not that harsh. From east to west, from ancient times to today, many countries and times began to teach philosophy when students were very young. The basic language of philosophy is very simple, mainly lies in thinking for yourself. To tell the truth, the language used in western philosophy is very similar to the language we use in modern times. On the contrary, when we study the philosophy of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, it is more difficult to understand their language. Of course, learning philosophy needs to go from shallow to deep. As mentioned earlier, introductory books and the history of philosophy are the only way to get started. Don't just take a Kant or Heidegger to read.
