I want to get into philosophy. Recommend me some basic and understandable books. I’m looking for collection of philosophical essays and articles. But others will do too.

    A good intro book to western philosophy is Will Durant - the story of philosophy. Very easy to read, and some chapters are insightful and very entertaining.

    It’s an attempt to humanize philosophy it by focusing each chapter on one important philosopher, their life, and the historical context their ideas sprang from.
