They are, which is why you should try

It covers metaphysics. Modern science is in a way a continuation of what used to be called natural philosophy.

If you want an “overview” of western philosophy read
“history of western philosophy” (Russell)

Note: Kierkegaard is omitted, for example, and Russell is not exactly impartial


Otherwise, “A New History of Western Philosophy” (Kenny), or “A history of Philosophy” (Copleston)

@slopslinger

the closest thing I've read related to academic philosophy (that I can recommend) is the Unabomber manifesto.

but you'd be better served by first looking over the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy and getting a feel for what interests you. tbh I don't read actual philosophy tho I like novels with those kind of themes.

The World as will and representation by Schopenhauer and Nausea by Sartre, a very contrasting pair
