How to go about reading classic philosophy?

Recommended Posts

I've always wanted to read the classic philosophy books, but I've always dodged them one way or another citing an array of excuses(highschool, college, girlfriend, etc). But now I've decided I should start reading some while I'm still a student.

 

So I've decided to read a few of the more known classic philosophy books.

These include On Liberty, Federalist Papers(), Wealth of Nations, Leviathan, Social Contract, Two Treatsies on Government, Republic, History of Peloponnesian War, etc.

 

Is there a "way" to read these? Or some sort of order which I should follow for better understanding?

We all are different and we perceive different. I have red couple of books from one author without knowing about complexity. At the end I realized that have started with the most complicated. And there was no problems with understanding.

 

I recommend you to start with any of them.
