Lately I have found an interest in philosophy. I would love to dig deeper into it when I get the time.

I just started reading Seneca's Letters from a stoic and plan to read Tao te Ching next, as I always wanted to implement thoughts from Stoicism and Taoism in my life.

I'm aware that, randomly reading different philosophical works won't give me much in-depth knowledge.

I want to know what's a good way to go about it and the resources I could use.

Philosophy 101

This is the first video of ten parts which is an entire Uni level philosophy 101.

It has a good grounding of all the important philosophical works and concepts.

Also I’m shocked the Stanford encyclopaedia of philosophy hasn’t been mentioned:

https://plato.stanford.edu

I’ve heard from philosophy grads that if you just read this entire thing you’ve basically got a philosophy degree.
