Philosophy PhD student REVEALS his READING METHOD || Philosophy in Real Life - Episode 6

📑 SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE 📑

In this episode of the Philosophy in Real Life podcast, I talk about my reading methodology. It really sucks to invest so much time and not remember the things you read or just finishing a book and come to the realization that you just ended up with a vague idea about a book that you found meaningful. Needless to say, not all the books have the same value to us. In this video I share my thought process from picking what book to read to how I go about keeping quotations and book summaries.

These are the main points I discuss in this episode 6:

1. How much do you know about the field?
2. What book should you pick? popular versus academic
3. My method: the three levels of reading
4. Bonus Segment: How I use Notion to keep my book summaries
