Help Required!!!
I'm very interested in Philosophy as I believe everyone is at one point in their life. I've tried reading some works by kant and other philosophers but for someone just starting out its something that completely goes over my head. Could anyone give me some online texts that give some key aspects of Philosophy. As I have not studied enough to be familiar with specific branches of Philosophy just anything would do. Thank you.

Not sure how to post a link...you may try this: KFA - Krishnamurti Foundation of America
I found Krishnamurti to be a great comfort when I was starting my journey. It has a spiritual bent, but is very good. |

Re: Help Required!!!
I've always benefited greatly from the thoughts of Eric Hoffer, a mid 20th century philosopher who worked as a longshoreman in San Francisco much of his life. He wrote in common language, but his ideas are timeless.

Here's a link for you. It will give you a good survey of his work in some detail. One of my favorite quotes which appears on the Hoffer website is "Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves." The Eric Hoffer Resource flow.... |

Re: Help Required!!!
hello there, if you put krishnamurti into a google search in the video category you'll get a sit back and put your feet up intro into the teachings, alternatively there are many sites with text excerpts, j....bookwise i would highly recommend freedom from the known or krishnamurtis notebook.
