Luis Mellon: maybe an introduction to philosophy textbook would suffice.
Hilton Paiva: John Locke - Two Treatises of GovernmentPlato's RepublicPlato's 5 DialoguesDescartes Discourse on the Method and MeditationsThose I think are a great start to philosophy. Plato is a little dense for new comers but these books really give you the essence to philosophy...Show more

Clement Viscarro: I would recommend The Apology by Plato. It is short, and very surprisingly (to me) accessible, understandable. It shows you that philosophy, even the ancients like Socrates, were just people talking, like you and I might today at a Starbucks. And the issues then were the same issues now.

Booker Moros: Read 'The Great Conversation' by Norman Melchert (secular) or 'Thales to Dewey' by Gordon Clark (Christian).People say to just jump right in to the writings of the greats, but if you don't have some background to the context of the writings, you may get lost. It is better, I think, to read at least one history of philosophy book. They practically all give you background to the writers' lives and the world they lived in when they wrote. This helps you to understand why they said what they said.I hope you enjoy the subject....Show more
