I want to get into philosophy. Recommend me some basic and understandable books. I'm looking for collection of philosophical essays and articles. But others will do too.

Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking by Daniel C. Dennett is a decent introduction.

Have you read The Philosopher's Toolkit by Julian Baggini? Your book rec made me think of it 😅

let me know what you think of it, it was something academic philosophers I know were using; it reminds me more of a reference book, though (it's not really an intro book or anything)
