You seem to know a lot about philosophy for someone who has asked for help on starting an inquiry into philosophy. And anyway, what's this red herring for? I told you that philosophy is a lifelong pursuit, and you seem to disagree. So let's drop the thing I said that you didn't like-- I formally retract it here for everyone to see. I apologize without reservation for saying that it would take you at least three years to digest the information at wikipedia.
Now, let's actually DO some philosophy, and we can start with a simple question:
How will you know when you've mastered the field of philosophy?
It is not about mastering it is about coming up with new ideas from the old ones.
