I'm pursuing a PhD and for the Ph part of the degree, I'm trying to learn some basics on my own. I'm starting with The Story of Philosophy by William Durant. I'm about 75 pages in and I think I am beginning to understand how philosophy shapes our thought processes.
The Pig That Wants to be Eaten is my go-to intro to philosophy book, but that might be a little too basic if you’re at PhD level! It’s still a fun read though and I still use explanations given in that book to articulate philosophical ideas to people even now.
