7 Philosophy Books for Beginners

You don’t need to go to college to study philosophy — anybody can do it if they are willing to dedicate themselves to the work of deep, difficult reading. But I want to make it a little bit easier for you. So I’m suggesting 7 books for philosophy beginners. 2 books are introductions, written specifically with beginners in mind. But the other 5 are classic primary texts from the history of philosophy. All of these will prove to be immensely rewarding for anybody willing to put in the work. → Chapters Begin at the Beginning 00:00 Problems of Philosophy 02:02 Think 03:13 Plato 05:25 Marcus Aurelius 07:25 St. Augustine 08:15 René Descartes 09:42 John Stuart Mill 11:49 → Book Links Problems of Philosophy: Think: Plato: Marcus Aurelius: St. Augustine: René Descartes: John Stuart Mill: → Video Gear Mic: Recorder: Camera: Lens: These are affiliate links with Amazon.
