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.

    Yeah but still… there’s something really nice and basic about getting to know the primary sources. You can find a lot of secondary literature / handbooks / online courses / … but it just can’t compare to the original (albeit in translation). If you would ever decide to start studying philosophy in-depth you’ll be glad you’re already familiar with some fundamental works.
