"The Story of Philosophy" by Will Durant is a great starting point for anyone interested in delving into philosophy, offering a concise introduction to philosophers from Socrates to those of the 1950s.
I’ve learnt much philosophy from it and I confer that the synopsises that it encompasses are repleted with wisdom. Him also adducing critiques is a nice way of displaying both pros and cons of particular philosophies.
I believe in the philosophy of developing one’s philosophy over time through one’s life experiences rather than influenced by someone else’s thoughts. When you start practicing thinking, over time you will think greater thoughts. You don’t need philosophy books, they only hinder the possibilities of your mind. I see most people read such books only to look cool, and I believe the same is the case with the ones who wrote them.
Nah going through academic process is much better bcs for most of the people doesn't actually have that capacity to philosophise from the very beginning, getting certain level of awareness about the development of historical genesis of philosophy and current day philosophy will be more fruitful and effective way rather than assessing one's life and making meaningful judgement and deductions from it, like lol there's very little scope in it. How could you make deductions about logic, philosophy of science, mathematics, history, epistemology, etc. without going into the subject matter?
Also until and unless you doesn't actually interact with the thoughts of the named personalities mentioned here, you doesn't have any right to claim that they did so just to be pretentious, like come on there's a reason why millions of people read and research on their writings. That's a very shallow assessment from your side, which also further proved my point that until and unless you doesn't have a flair for philosophically inclined thinking, you can't develop that level of depth with in your thoughts without going through the written text material.
A great book to start philosophy is Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder (I have a huge crush on Charu, I just wanna drink coffee with her and talk about books).

If you really want to understand life: Jiddu Krishnamurti's books are enough. (I'm not promoting anyone it's just my personal suggestion) Because self-knowledge is essential in life.
@@ysanket234No there is not something ultimate, It's just that His way of telling truth and his understanding is so pure and honest. It's not poetic, it's just like Ashtavakra Geeta, Straight and clear!
thanks for the recommendations. Fyodor and j. krishnamurti are my fav. I would like to recommend books by ACHARYA PRASHANT if you want to have more clear view on day to day life.
Excuse me, but in what world do we begin philosophy with Beyond Good and Evil? Nietzsche literally argues that morality is for the weak and that the strong simply do what they want to do.
Dostoevsky for his understanding of human psyche. Nietzsche for his strong prose and his dissection of morality in a societal setting. Camus for the vagueness of the existential feeling as well as the existential person (more precisely the plane of consciousness that he calls the absurd). And lastly, Kafka because he's Kafka. He's in his own league and there could be no motivation to read his books. You just have to read them.
Lovely collection, philosophy has always been one of my favourite topic to read, there was a moment in the video where you mentioned about philosophy & spirituality both but I believe if you could provide a collection on spiritual books as well ✨👏🏻 keep up the good work
Hey chau..............discovered this chanel recently.........great and very useful content Thank you for the great work you are doing, I wish you all the best for this unique initiative of making content around books
Appreciate the Michael Sandel video lectures recommendation. I'd like to request that the chalchitra crew comes together and each recommend their favourite video lectures.Would really love it.
it always amuses me that none of these so called book influencers from India recommend vedant, geeta and upanishads in philosophy recommendations. they will recommend all sorts of books from around the world but miss the gem from (probably the best ever books till now) from their own country. I don't know whether it is deliberate or they are genuinely ignorant.
Nietzsche spent his life questioning traditional morality and looked "Beyond Good and Evil", and you said Nietzsche was some kind of moralist who exhorted against questioning traditional morality in the book he titled "Beyond Good and Evil". Lord have mercy!
Honestly speaking, after reading Dostoevskey's Crime and Punishment, The trial and Metamorphosis by Frank Kafka, The outsider and The Plague by Albert Camus, my life has never been the same.
Your thumbnail is amazing! Just keep it up dear to make a video on philosophy book review! Have you read the book power by Robert Greene or not, please!

Dear reader, if you are a beginner to philosophy, please ignore this video. Go watch some other more popular videos on the topic. You'll get much better advice and recommendations.
I'm sorry but did you recommend Nietzsche to beginners? maybe you're incredibly smart which is why this 'mistake' might have happened, but you should realise that for the average, or even above average, reader, Nietzsche is NOT the right philosopher. His books should be read after you've read more basic, introductory books, books from other existentialists and works/philosophers that he discusses -even then you'd likely need a secondary book. It is often joked about in philosophy circles that even Nietzsche didn't understand himself, so how can a newcomer?
I think Dostoyevsky's "Notes from the Underground" is probably not a good introduction, especially for people who are just getting into Philosophy. The first part is the Underground man just explaining himself and his ideology - a ideology based in spite and sickness - which can be off putting to many. Instead i would recommend Crime and Punishment . It is a better introduction to Dostoyevsky, even though it is the longer of the two, it is more engaging as we follow the psychological turmoil of Raskalnikov after what he does to the lousy pawnbroker.
Sophie's World is a good start on Western Philosophy. Fyodor Dostoevsky is not for beginners. A book for beginners must not be judged in terms of number of pages (patli book). It should be judged on the basis of developing interest in the subject.
I too like the philosophy genre very much n when i finally decided to read philosophy I was clueless so i did some research and i found stoicism very fascinating so i wanted to read more about it but the book i picked as a complete beginner to philosophy is 'sophie's world' by jostein gaarder which is my current read the book is brilliant read it whether u like philosophy or not. after this i intend to read stoic books. What according to u is a good way to read philosophy? is it to pick a school of thought say nihilism or anti natalism n read about that discover different authors n dive deep? or what other way do u recommend?
@@mattcardin1796 oh i see thanks for informing me. also if u can please tell me the way to approach philosophy as a complete beginner, how to read different schools of thought?
@@subhranilghosh8028 Read problems in philosophy by Bertrand Russell or Introduction to Western Philosophy by Y Masih. For Indian schools you can go for Introduction to Indian Philosophy by Dutta and Chatterjee

Beyond good and evil is not the one should read at the start of his/her philosophical journey, certainly not.
Yea exactly!
She is not as experienced in reading philosophy as she is trying to show.
You need to know at least basic history of entire western philosophy (specially Plato).

Beyond good and evil for beginners.That is ridiculous.Even as a guy who rarely ready books knows that Nietzsche’s books are tough nut to crack.
No books from hindi authors; who have a very deep background in philosophy. Suepirsing!

These are not actually beginner friendly recommendation. Beginner friendly would be something like 'Sophie's world'.
I was about to say that! XD
Please invite Punit Pania to share his books collection. He has read some awesome books
Sure, will definitely try for Punit Pania.

I have read Kafka halfway throgh. But then I moved out of city for College and the book is back home AAAAHHHHH
Was confused where to pick nietzche at, will start with beyond good and evil def ❤

@@PRINCEjxyfglxguxggxfj-qe2iy will try that as well, thank you for recommending ☺️

i find meditations difficult to read , i dont know if its something with the version i own or its just something beyond my intellect.
Probably beyond your linguistic comprehension
Probably the language. You should try watching videos by The Daily Stoic/Ryan Holiday or maybe read a book about Stoic philosophy beforehand
That's about the worst interpretation of Nietzsche I've ever heard. It's literally the opposite of what he argues
Anxiety develop ho gyi philosophy padh k.
Bhai apna jivan hi ek din philosophy ban jaya gi ya apna jivan hi philosophy😑. Toh kiyo paday dusaro ki philosophy 😂
Philosophy for beginners and the first book thrown is Beyond Good & Evil. Charano 🦶ko naman 🙏
Nietzsche's work is very sophisticated, I guess
It is difficult to understand the deep meanings of it
Thanks for the recommendation Charu...would definitely check out some
Nietzsche is for beginners? 😅
Maybe I'm not smart enough because I have a book lying in my shelf collecting dust, it was too difficult for me.

Any list on philosophy is incomplete without ayn rand.

Please also mention the toughness of English in books recommendation. It will be helpful.

You can also add Denial of Death by Ernest Becker. But these books can do more harm than any good.
