not really, except to understand the historical context for later philosophical developments...

but it is fun to read

he's fun

I think plato is critical to read

evropean

Read Plato by Plato

I've watched Stefan's episode on Plato's world of forms <:dab:395562678153904128>

DID SOMEONE SAY

SAMOYED

I'd say Republic is the most perennially important thing from Plato to read

You should read plato in high school tbh, at least touch on it

its the thing that's most consistently relevant

instead of "catcher in the rye"

or some bullshit

I started reading Plato in HS

Meh I have just.read maybe 2 of platos works

I also read Catcher in the Rye

World of forms is good stuff

lol

so you're a catcher not a pitcher?

Plato's metaphysics is literally like

drooling brainlet tier

the republic etc are ok reading but on a grand scale of things nobody really can hold a candle to Nietzsche except maybe Hegel and even then hes a slave to reason and a polar opposite of Nietzsche

if you are interested in politics, you should have an understanding of plato vs artistotle

I actually agree JP

lol

interdimensional chairs

Hegel is even gayer than Nietzsche

isn't understanding greek philosophy important in understanding the later works?

@J-P Nietzsche was inferior to Schopenhauer <:dab:395562678153904128>

kek

all Germanic philosophers were just pure unadulterated autism

well Hegel was a not an idiot,just a extreme german autist,there a lot of good stuff from him but the problem is we saw what its leads to--Marx and engels

it is foundational

Reason for the sake of reasoning,lead you into a world like we live in right now

Idk

"Reason doesn't give people a reason to get out of bed in the morning"

Some of Marx is alright
Not an Engels fan though
