You may find the Dialogues of Plato rather entertaining - http://www.classicallibrary.org/plato/dialogues/

The funny thing is, they were written more than 2000 years ago, and no one has been able to add anything substantial to the subject since then :-)



If you do not mind I would like to pick the Apology:

http://www.classicallibrary.org/plato/dialogues/12_apology.h...

It seems that it is the most accessible text. In my opinion it goes beyond the limits of philosophy and it becomes real poetry.


I found "The Clouds" rather entertaining. Unfortunately the language in the free version is a little less frank...but it's an interesting read nonetheless.
