Most of my life I've been very, very unintestered in philosphy but I've recently developped a curiosity for some philosophical concepts like "structuralism" and I'm a bit curious about what the fuck type of political philosphy the Greeks developped after a friend told me they were reading Aristotle for their poli-sci class. What should I read? No self-help books please and thank you.

      I've often started reading things I was more interested in instead of starting from the beginning of history and it seems to pay off mostly. I remember some libs discouraging me from reading this or that book because of gate keeping basically if you're interested in any topic in particular - read it. You can always read and digest above and beyond your own studies. Plus science and philosophy are literally built upon collective knowledge no need for everyone to reinvent the wheel.
