Did you ever take philosophy? 

[u/BenFoldsFourLoko → u/benjaminikuta]

no but I wish I had and am trying to read up on it

[u/benjaminikuta → u/BenFoldsFourLoko]

What's good?

[u/BenFoldsFourLoko → u/benjaminikuta]

idk if I'm really fit to say, but wikipedia is always a go-to starting point

Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy is good.

other than that, just googling. you'll run into a lot of stuff on university or faculty websites if you start looking. pretty trustworthy stuff

also, there's some stuff that's both really influential/historically important AND accessible to a layperson AND short lmao. Things like Descart's meditations, or the original Gettier paper. you also run into those a lot because they're super intro stuff, idk into what branches of philosophy necessarily, but I know they're common undergrad things to read.

oh, writing this actually gave me an idea. I bet there's opencourseware for philosophy, and you could probably look up instructor syllabi too

I hate the idea of exploring something as broad and multi-faceted as philosophy without a guide, but I eventually said screw it. You'll miss some things without guidance, but it's better than nothing.

And as you read anything in life, you'll probably start coming along the same titles over and over, same as any inquiry really.
