What comes next?

Fap to the French

stop reading based on geographical location.
By this point you should have a firm grasp on differing positions of philosophy.
Now you can just go absolutely ape shit and read w/e the fuck you can get your hands on.
try spinoza.
>>8175397
>geographical location
its more about the time period, faggot, when people say "start with the greeks" they mean the classics, not whatever modern shit greeks are putting out about how poor their country is
>>8175406
Ok, fair point.
Substitute geographical location with time period.
Still have the same opinion
skip through until you get to Wittgenstein
Aquinas and Chaucer, nibelungelied, Augustine, beowulf and whatever pre-renaissance you can find, probably.
Then the renaissance, then enlightenment, romanticism, modern and post modern and now you read anything you want to read and you'll "get" it.
Or so it goes. Supposedly the idea of starting with the greeks and continuing with the Romans is to have an understanding of where ideas come from and how they develop with the ages. On that note, you should read the KJB

>renaissance, enlightenment, romanticism
Mostly dangerous propaganda

>"stop going by time period"
>"maybe spinoza next"
Considering that most people will never read neoplatonic philosophy, isn't Spinoza actually next chronologically (except for Descartes)? Assuming that "resume with the romans" included some Jewish history and the Bible.
Mingle with the Medievals
Restart with Descartes

u got memed son
>>8175491
i do think that anyone with an interest in western philosophy should have some understanding of descartes, but like, descartes fucking sucks.
>>8175284
Muddle through the monks and muslims.
>>8175284
S.U.I.C.I.D.E.
>>8175485
You have to read everything, or else how can you comment on western civilization?
>>8175492
reminds me when /fit/ calls starting strength >you got memed son. Aka people who have never started with the Greeks or did SS to begin with.
>>8175284
is that supposed to be the same chick?
>>8175496
Truth.
you're following the trail of western literature. i though that was obvious.
Bible is next.
>>8176352
They do look similar, but how should a normie chick know that a pic of her when she was a toddler is constantly being used as a reaction pic beats me.
Or is it used by idiots on twitter too?
>>8176370
Everything used on 4chan is now used 900x more on twitter, tumblr, and reddit dude
Become a Christian.
>>8175496
fack off mate u looking for trouble? say that to my face not online see what happens.
Meddle with the Middle Ages
Vacate to the Vedics
Greeks -> Romans -> Germans -> helium tank because you're still clueless about what to do with your life
Help yourself to some Hebrew
>he thinks he's done with the Greeks
How much Plato can you recite from memory in Greek?
>>8177407
this is basically where i am, so now i'm on the verge of diving into mysticism or esotericism even though i think it's mostly bullshit
>>8175481
>renaissance
>enlightenment
>romanticism
Trash. Go straight to modern culture.
>>8175284
I just keep re-reading the Greeks desu
After the Romans I'd go for stuff like Chanson de Roland, Orlando Furioso, Beowulf, The Battle of Brunanburh, The Battle of Maldon, Snorri Sturluson, The Dream of the Rood. Petrarch, Dante, Chaucer.
>>8175284
the Visigoths
