Is there a website where I can learn philosophy? A website that leads your through and explains to you all larger categories and questions in philosophy? I know there is plato.stanford.edu, but it's an encyclopedia and doesn't lead you through the topics in a didactic manner. I didn't want to learn philosophy by reading a bunch of books, because I have several dozens of books I'm already intending to read.

Philosophy is a lifelong endeavor. Just start reading a little bit. Some parts don't make sense for years until you have the right experience.

This is probably the best lecture to speedrun greeks->modern
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ_hUxuumk0&list=PL6676C3E8A487FEE6

I recommend googling questions that interest you and reading papers or listening to lectures and podcasts while you do other things. Just do it casually and you will end up knowing more than 90% of people.

Sure bro, the attached pdf History of Western Philosophy isn't too long, the author is a lib (his take on Marx is meh) but it goes from the ancient greeks to the 20th century. Spirkin's book goes much deeper into marxist philosophy. The other books are also interesting.. the history of ancient philosophy, Lenin's notes on philosophy and Ilyenkov's history of dialectics. There's also Hegel's Lectures on the History of Philosophy, which I also need to read. https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hp/hpconten.htm

Partially Examined Life and Philosophize This are good intro podcasts for longer discussions of a huge variety of topics. You can get podcast apps that do 1.5x or 2x speed or find lectures on youtube and you can also use text to speech apps on articles or papers so you can listen while you work or commute and save time.

What kinda experience do you want from philosophy? It really depends on what you're looking for. If you want to feel like you can know nothing and want to feel the powerlessness, try David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. If you want an introduction to the methods of living "the good life", Epicureanism and Stoicism. If you wanna be a Marxist and get the hang of dialectics, start with some of Plato's dialogues like Euthyphro and pay attention to how the initial claim of Socrates' partner is forced into a corner or developed through introspection. If you really dunno just stick with Plato and try whatever, like Gorgias. Every good intro book to philosophy is meant for you to read the primary text at some point. The goal of philosophy is to get you to think for yourself and develop your sense of reason, so no book can summarize the lessons for you, unless you're just trying to do a history of philosophy.

Believe it or not, the first part of that /pol/ infographic isn't a bad start >>6290 but it clearly was made by someone who either thought it was a good idea to recommend Critique of Pure Reason and Practical Reason by themselves without proper context, and just dump the Phenomenology there. Kant and Hegel is goatse for the mind, and you need prep–for Kant I recommend Groundwork/Grounding/Foundations on the Metaphysics of Morals and What is Enlightenment to get a sense of his broader project before you get screwed. Good luck with Hegel.

Ok OP, I assume you want to get into philosophy as some sort of of hobby and that's fine, but realize that this will not replace some formal education in philosophy. Now first I would advise you to read "Elementary Prinicples of Philosophy" by Georges Politzer (pdf attached). Gets over the basic terminology in wider philosophy from a marxist perspective.
Second I attached you a pdf that was essentially a philosophy project by 4/lit/. Its 4chan but actually pretty decent so yeah read it.
I will attach a huge reading list that goes over western philosophy chronologically in my next post, because it is too big
>>6297

Very basic stuff about some of the most important thinkers. Not perfect imo, but very good for the average guy that wants to learn about philosophy.

Lenin was wrong in saying that. I think he was enthusiastic after reading Hegel's Logic and discovering it was insightful. To be honest his reading of Hegel is nothing special.

Marx's Capital is first and foremost a political project. Marx started it because he was a communist. Capital is not a project created for academics, it's a gift to the working class and it exists for their benefit. Marx took special care to ensure that Capital was didactic; on every page you will find examples, metaphors, footnotes, and repetition throughout the text. The first edition even had a special appendix fleshing out the concept of the value form in a step-by-step manner for readers that had trouble with the first chapter; in subsequent editions the chapter was rewritten to be easier to understand (but not any less meaningful). Capital doesn't require much more of the reader than a sturdy grasp of their native language and a willingness to learn.

I don't think you have to READ Hegel but its important to understand what he is doing and where he is situated in history, who he is responding to and why, and how his arguments are structured in relation to that history.

If you care about putting Capital in context, understanding his relationship to other socialists of the period is arguably more relevant
