Best books to learn Wushu and Wing Chun?

Begin at the beginning, which is to learn the basic topics. The easiest way is by topic. Otherwise you forget in the 2nd book you choose to read what was said in the 1st book, and most of it won't make sense anyway until you have a lot of concepts under your belt.

Those concepts are the "topics" in the Syntopicon. Among the topics are all of the branches of philosophy from metaphysics to aesthetics. The Syntopicon is Volumes II and III of a 60 volume set of books in most libraries.

How will you know that statement made about free will by Nietzsche is not in reference to a statement made by Plato or by Averroes if you have not read a paragraph or two from Plato and Averroes on the subject? Historicism is often extremely important when the author himself expects you to understand the context of his words.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
