Recommended Readings to Get Started In Philosophy

A selection of works that are accessible, important, and mind expanding. I chose these to help folks who find many of the 'classics' of philosophy unintelligible - think Kant and Heidegger. The works I mention and recommended translator:

Ecce Homo by Nietzsche Kaufmann or Hollingsdale
Meditation my Marcus Aurelius George Long
Lives of Imminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laertius Charles Yonge
Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy Van Norden and Ivanhoe
Plato Symposium and Phaedrus Jowett
Schopenhauer Essay and Aphorisms Penguin edition
Plutarch's Essays Penguin Classics
William James Pragmatism and Other Writings Penguin
Descartes Discourse on Method and Other Writings Penguin
