I never received formal education in the subject and I want to learn about it so that I may have a better understanding of the philosophy of our political tradition. I'd appreciate any suggestions on materials to get an introduction to the topic.

Look, i'm trying to answer very real flaws i have with solutions i'm likely to be able to execute - are there any summaries of philosophers that would provide context, but permit one to, say, read a book like "of grammatology" without knowing what the fuck Derrida is responding to in every single case? Trusting summary is to trust another person's understanding and intentions in authentic conveyance - but this product may exist, and if it does it may be something I need for the philosophy i'm currently trying to read [derrida lol]
but the point is i'm looking for inroads to philosophy that arent reading everything between plato and whatever the contemporary hot shit philosophers are
