I have read Sophie's world. Now I feel it was too rough introduction. I want some formal book that explains all the philosophies properly with comparisons.

Edit 1: I asked chatgpt. Here is what it gave me.

1. Simon Blackburn — Think Learn to engage with major philosophical problems and competing positions.
2. Stephen Toulmin — The Uses of Argument Learn how real arguments are constructed, supported, qualified and challenged.
3. Richard Tarnas — The Passion of the Western Mind

Now study the historical development of Western thought with much greater understanding of why ideas changed.

4. Anthony Kenny — A New History of Western Philosophy
5. Your more systematic and academically serious history.
6. Primary texts Plato → Aristotle → Augustine → Descartes → Spinoza → Hume → Kant → Hegel → Kierkegaard → Nietzsche → etc

It asked me to avoid • Bertrand Russell — A History of Western Philosophy •Frederick Copleston — A History of Philosophy ( If you eventually want to go really deep, this is the monster.)
