Heya!
Good to hear you're interested in reading some philosophy! Imo its one of the best things ever - really opens our eyes to the fundamentals of how we think and how the world works - plus you can really weave in alot of philosophy into your English essays!
Just off the top of my head based on my recent reading - most of this isn't overly specialist which is good
- Paul Davies, Mind of God, Fabric of the Cosmos
- Sartre, Nausea, Being and Nothingness
- Peter Singer, Practical Ethics
- Plato, Symposium, Republic, The Last Days of Socrates
- Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarasthustra, The Birth of Tragedy
- Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy
- David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Undestanding (specialist, but very readable and he has a good sense of dry wit and humour)
- Albert Camus, The Stranger, The Rebel (fiction, but existentialist)
Have fun! Good to see you keep up the reading even in Yr 12! Good luck, and have a great year
Wendy.
