Location:Canada
Hello, Hope everyone is having a great and peaceful Sunday I like reading in my free time and having been through a variety of materials I felt a little ashamed that aside from the pace scanning for my GenEd midterms in University I am unable to say I have read any philosopher or books thereof, like "properly".
A week ago my copy of Sartre's Being and Nothingness arrived and I am struggling. Tbh I am kind of helpless with it all. And the ideas he is working with it, I came to understand through random forums on dr. Google, are equally complex. I don't want to just abandon the book without at least taking something that satisfies my curiosity. I only learned about him while surfing for psychoanalysis therapy.
I hope somebody can help me out with respect to a good starting point to grasp the basic framework of the major philosophical works; should I start with Kant or Hegel? Or maybe find books by modern writers that discuss the ideas in a more relatable language.
Thanks in advance and thank you for reading
P.S. Western Philosophy only please
