How do you get interested in philosophy anyway? I tried, but I dont know, trying to sort and categorize ways of thinking and understanding is strange.

I got interested in philosophy when I checked out this book from the library.

For me, just a general desire to understand experience, or at least find different ways of viewing it. If nothing else, it can be a fun intellectual exercise.

That said, I've never been as well-versed in philosophy as I would like to be.

*Analytic? Check.
*Philosopher? Check.
*Beard? NO?! MY LIFE IS A LIE.

I've been pretty satisfied with discovering bits and pieces on my own and through conversation about how to process reality. Maybe that's sort of lazy, but when I hear about some of the things philosophers fight over, it makes me feel uninterested.

"How do you get interested in philosophy anyway? I tried, but I dont

I got into it from an intro to philosophy course using the Reason ad Responsibility textbook, which was nice because It covered a bunch of different subjects, so I could see what I was interested in and what I wasn't. For instance, I can't say I care much about religious philosophy, but I'm fascinated by epistemology(The Study of Knowledge).

For me, it's just finding something that I find interesting.
