Belief also alters one's philosophy - you might find a vastly different meaning in life between believing and not believing in certain origin stories, of existence.correction I think there IS a lot more to being a philosopher. You cant just pick a philosophers concepts and beliefs you have to develop your own concepts and beliefs by experience and knowledge. How you perceive the things around you and how you see them. To understanding the and answering the questions you seek to know.I don't think there is a lot more to being a philosopher.I just sparked an interest in philosophy recently. I have been reading a lot on philosophy and the different branches. My goal is to have a broad knowledge of all the branches.
What I need advice on, is there a specific order to study them? Like do I need to understand 1 branch in order to understand another. Or does it matter where I start and they all intertwine with each other?
This is the order of the branches that I am most interested in learning. Should it be in a different order to help me understand and have a broad knowledge of the different branches of philosophy?
metaphysics
ontology & logic together
epistemology
axiology
ethics
aesthethics
political theory
What I came across while researching, when developing your own philosophy use another philosophers concepts and ideas as a framework to get started?
Is there any key concepts that are recommended?
Any websites?
Any particular philosophers work?
Any theories I should study?
Any advice would help?
I understand what philosophy is, but I want a better understanding. Any advice and or help would be much appreciated, Thank you.
Pack a bag ... Sell all your belongings you don't pack ... And take a journey around the world until something tells you to stop.
Talk to everyone that doesn't want to kill you ... And if they are comfortable, even ask them why the others that want to kill you feel that way.
Bring along some books on philosophy ... But learn what you can from the people as well.....

I did all that. It doesn't make one a philosopher.
