Question by ღ♥ღ latoya: SIMPLE GUIDE TO (greek) PHILOSOPHERS?
Hi. Im 15 years of age, but I am quite interested in Philosophy. I’ve never really taken a keen interest in ancient philosophers, such as Aristotle and Socrates, nor to say I have read anything into more modern ones like Hume.

But does anyone have a website that could introduce me to these philosophers IN A NUTSHELL. There’s tons of info out there, but most of it is jargon – I just want something that explains them to a very beginner to even the simplest of philosophy. Any other sites, with simple stuff on ethics e.g. abortion, or any sites that look into an array of such topics whilst can be understood easily would also be appreciated.

Thanks

well, if you want a book, get Philosophy for Dummies. No puns,but it does get at what your looking for.

Which creates a point. You must read, even if it is just a comic book.

Louis L”Amour is a perfect example of a writer (philosopher) who relayed his philosophies through his characters.

Read history, wars. You will be able to assess the for yourself. Study Sun Tzu!
Congratulations btw, for choosing the journey of innovative thought.

I want to learn meditation. My purpose or goal in meditating is to gain access to a deeper level within myself, live in a state of clearer consciousness, enhance creativity and problem solving skills, and dispel anxiety and negativity.

Can I do this without following a specific path? Will I attain my goals by just jumping in and doing it? … I’ve tried reading and studying different methods and philosophies, but find that I get too caught up in the details and don’t make any progress.

The problem is, I’m not sure where or how to begin. Any advice?
