I like this one

I’ve never seen a thread on Platonic secondary literature, but I love finding new, good commentators. List’em and discuss if you want. John Sallis’ work on Plato and phenomenology has changed the way I think almost as much as Plato’s work itself. Being and Logos is what I started out with, and I have been collecting and re-reading his books since I realized how brilliant he is. I just finished reading Being and Logos for the sixth time and I learn so many new things each time through it. He recently put out a work on the statesman that I haven’t been able to afford yet. There are a lot of other commentators that have helped me out, but for brevity’s sake I’ll only list Heidegger as the second most helpful. His work on the Sophist and Parmenides is a chore to plow through, but I feel as though it is well worth reading until what he writes is understood. The thread might die from lack of interest, but I wanted to see if anyone was looking for this type of discussion.
