Kind of a broad question. My own favourite philosophers are Hume and Bentham, but they can be a trifle heavy going for a beginner. The best introduction might be Plato's 'The Republic'.
Remember, though - it doesn't matter whether you agree with what Plato has to say about, well, anything. But it's a fairly straightforward way to get yourself used to the language and style of philosophical writings. Good luck.
