Philosophy Recommendations? (beehaw.org)

What books/podcasts/videos do you recommend on philosophy?

Can be of any style (introductory or more comprehensive), just would be good to build up a repository on here and see who else is interested in philosophy more generally.

I find The Prince by Machiavelli fascinating, can definitely see how some leaders take his ideas to heart.

Partially Examined Life if you want rich but approachable discussion on academic philosophy. I cannot understate how good these guys are; the age of their podcast speaks for itself. Also, for what it’s worth, I have an actual undergraduate degree in philosophy and I recommend them whole heartedly.
