Discuss any and all things philosophy. Query: for anyone familiar with Neo-Kantianism, how can they jettison Kant's thing-in-itself and not fall into a subjective idealism akin to Berkeley or Fichte? I'm not too familiar with the movement, I've read some Cassirer and Vaihinger, and I understand that Neo-Kantianism is mainly concerned with epistemology and has an aversion to metaphysics, but the removal of the ding an sich seems pretty metaphysical to me...

>>831 Existentialism by Robert Solomon. It's a starting point that you can latch onto since it involves the philosophy of the present times. A textbook should give an overview a wide variety of subjects, but instead of the usual glazing and dismissal the book is just an anthology of primary source material and some brief introduction. I doubt I would've studied phil without it.

>>831 I've read the Republic. It's interesting, but it is also very long. Most of Plato's dialogs are much shorter. The go-to starting point for Plato back in antiquity (at least according to a certain neoplatonist named Iamblichus) was Alcibiades I. After that Gorgias and then Phaedo. You can look up the rest of his list if you want to read more.

>>827 I'm pretty far into philosophy what's a good place for philosophy of mind and hermeneutics respectively? I'm reading John Searle for mind but want to go deeper.. And hermeneutics seems to always filter me
