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.

      One of my favourite anecdote is the guy who was stopped by Greek police for generally looking suspicious, and accused of spying.

      “But I’m just here for the conference! I am a philosopher”

      “Prove it.”

      " … I… well… Hmm… That’s actually… I mean… "

      After about half an hour, they let him go.
