      A tech salesman gets a job at a bookstore "Just the Marx, mate? You're gonna need Phenomenology of Spirit if you want to get that working, and you'll have to hook that up to a Critique of Pure Reason. No point having those without Descarte. That'll be eighty quid altogether"

      Seriously though, this is a very real issue. No sooner have I started reading anything vaguely philosophical do I start mentally listing everything I should have read before, in chronological order, all the way back to the Old Testament

      There are people here who have jumped straight in at Fanged Noumena or A Thousand Plateaus and you have to ask: "Did you really understand what you were reading? Did you really?"

      thing is, almost nobody actually starts with the greeks, and absolutely no one has the time to read all of philosophy, such that you'll always start out with something you won't fully understand, and have your further reading be guided by that initial interest

      True, and it's the reason why as soon as you engage with one philosophical text you're pretty much locked in forever. But later philosophy is so replete with and dependent on references to predecessors that I'd struggle to understand how a freshfaced newbie could understand it

      true, and as I said, they actually can't. still, it's broadly contemporary stuff that is most likely to draw their attention, because it engages more directly with their lived reality than the classics, the relevance of which only becomes apparent through these difficulties

      Sounds like a good argument for a reverse-chronological reading of philosophy

          yeah, and probably not just philosophy

          (e.g. I'd say the fash/trad appreciation of greek statues and similar aesthetics is silly not because it is anachronistic, but because it involves an eradication of their significance)
