Shyam’s Answer

There are huge volumes of treatises from Voltaire, D’Alembert, Diderot, Descartes, Montesquieu, David Hume and Immanuel Kant that can be quite heavy to start with. I would suggest getting an introduction, from modern writers like Will Durant and then decide on selections of body of works by the above thinkers. "Critique of pure reason" by Immanuel Kant is highly recommended.

Grant’s Answer

It would help to know more specifically what you are interested in and also whether it is for a career or just general interest. But certainly if you are interested in early modern philosophy, you need to read the classics from this era. You could start with Hume or Descartes or Leibniz (among others).

Tsui Ying’s Answer

For epistemology, I would recommend reading 'What Is knowledge?' by Duncan Pritchard, which goes through alot of the key theories in a very accessible way.

On the topic of Enlightenment, I would begin with Kant's An Answer to the Question: "What is Enlightenment?", with Internet Encyclopedia being a great subsidary starter tool to understanding Kant's argument.
