if you want to get into philosophy, i'd recommend you the stanford philosophy encyclopedia. don't worry, it's not some pricey tome - it's a website. http://plato.stanford.edu/

I did take ancient philosophy as an elective class once, and I really enjoyed the class, but I can't bring myself to really study it outside of a classroom setting. There are just too many other hobbies I would like to spend my time on, most of which aren't academic at all. What is cinematic theory?

ah, i should've phrased things better - the theory of film, such as of analysis, purpose, societal effect, and all kinds of meta-film. a bit like semiotics. basically literary theory for films.

Philosophy's pretty cool.

Bumping this thread to ask who /girltalk/ posters' favorite philosophers are.

my favourite philosophcial work is probably Nietzsche's "Also sprach Zarathustra" and his originial definition of the übermensch. trying to improve myself constantly and setting high goals is how I chose to live. I disagree with many other points in his thesis though.
