Philosophy - ConceptHut

If you are wanting to look into philosophy, I have some suggestions of how to get started. First you should get an idea of what philosophy is and then see some general parts of philosophy and some general ideas talked about in the philosophy space. After that you can get into some of these things in more depth. The following video gives you a nice introduction to what philosophy is.

I suggest you watch the Crash Course Philosophy series (YouTube) to get yourself familiar with some ideas in an easy medium of video. They have great graphics and the breakdowns are easy to understand. Then you can poke around the Wikipedia – Philosophy page (text) to see the general information there. Make sure to check out the Branches of Philosophy section (text). From there you can take a look at Wireless Philosophy (YouTube) and Philosophy Vibe (YouTube) for more breakdowns in video form that are pretty well produced.

If you want some more advanced materials you can check out Carneades (YouTube). While it is dense and not all that visually appealing, he does a great job at explaining some tough concepts. You can also watch the Yale Philosophy videos (YouTube). Then there is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy that many philosophers love going to in conversations and debates on the internet. If you want to read some philosophy papers there is PhilPapers (text) you can look into.
