You don't yaara, you go to the Wikipedia and hang out around intellectual forums for 5 years and absorb the excerpts like a sponge and start calling each other fag and gay to win an argument

ignore all the other responses, start wherever you want. Most philosophers are, while influenced by each other, distinct enough from one another. All of them make an attempt to persuade you, and you can't really be persuaded if it requires for you to know 1000 pages of some autistic theory by heart. The question should be, if you are to read a philosopher, which of his works should you read first?

Plato's The Last Days of Socrates, if you want to start roughly from the start of modern western philosophy. You would then follow up with Aristotle->Descartes->and so on.

Alternatively, you could read Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosphy for a rundown of the major modern philosophers and then read whichever philosopher's work interested you the most
