So I am new to philosophy and this was my first book. I really liked how it touched many subjects and made me question alot of ‘obvious’ things , but didn’t like how it kept jumping too quickly from one topic to another. I also appreciated the simplicity of it.
I particularly liked the parts discussing axiology, metaphysics,logic and language philosophy.
I would also like to read the most known books/ the ones who had an impact in the field of philosophy.
Which book should I read next??
