Good night /lit/, I recently finished reading Plato's major works, now I'd like to understand them, specially the things said in Parmenides. What books do you recommend me, or should I just move to Aristotle?

>Parmenides
Lmao Heidegger understands everything in his own philosophy but the super secret lecture he did on this that contradicts the idea that he liked the sound of; that is being the true successor to Nietzsche(this rejects the history of metaphysics as Platonism) yet he still just sort of liked the fame association from the interpretation of Nietzsche and nonetheless found him interesting. But he is in no ways actually an inheritor of Nietzsche's ideas, I can't think of even one example of that; just thought that Nietzsche saw a lot in the heart of the world and liked the idea of being part of what Nietzsche was doing. He literally isn't a Nietzschean in almost any way.

Essentially, Parmenides does not lack-answer, and it is not merely a question. Yet it does not give-answer, without question. In it is contained the entire question of the meaning of being in the Greek framework. But it bashes up against its own possibility with the use of the word essence, as being. However even if you are not a follower of Heidegger's being the fundamental truth remains there in the developed Greek understanding of the being of the world, or the world in general. And they are in truth questions that must be still answered today within the frame of metaphysics(and yes Heidegger was still a metaphysician, just a non-substance metaphysics in his own ideas).

I could never understand people with iq below 140, they're like animals

you should definitely read some secondary stuff, i highly recommend it just to cement your knowledge, maybe check out copleston's coverage of plato in his history of philosophy just to see if it jives with your own thoughts?

also check out findlay's unwritten doctrines for a good take on plato as mystic, you won't often get this possibility presented these days but it's important to at least consider

also rist's mind of aristotle is good for an aristotle book

But I likely have an iq in the 130's and I had no trouble understanding Plato.
