Help with philosophical passages

[kobe200LATE]

Hi guys,

I always have trouble with philosophical passages because most of the time, I can't figure out what's going on and after I finish reading the passage, I can't determine what the main idea of the passage was. Do you guys know of any online sources where I can get philosophical articles to read for practice?

I read a lot of news and politics blogs and articles. That helped me on philosophical passages because they often talk about really abstract topics and refer to many other philosophers. They do the same thing in many political articles when discussing past voting histories or laws and the concept behind these things are often abstract. Plus I think these things are a little more interesting because they are relevant to today, but they aren't the MOST interesting thing you'll ever read so it also gives you practice with slow material.

Do you know of any sources with these abstract political articles?

Read a few sections from this: http://www.geocities.com/thenietzschechannel/onthe.htm Nietzsche writes in aphorisms that really require exegetic reading to understand. If you can read something as philosophically heavy as that, your verbal will be golden.
