Not just Marxist philosophy I want to read and understand other schools of thought too

    Unfortunately, most offered sources are implicitly biased towards Western/traditional intellectual philosophy as we live in a culture that has normalized and centered Western (male) philosophers

    Oddly enough I think Action Comics's Action Philosophers is a really breezy introduction to an international body of philosophers that you can use to further your education. Still Western biased, but less so

    I.e. Lao Tzu, Confucius, Simone du Beauvoir, Frantz Fanon, et al

        Ah, I meant the selection of philosophers was Western biased. But yes, to your point, most Western philosophers also have Western biases
