thanks. any others?

Can you imagine solving crimes with her on her archeological trip to Cairo? I mean, that could totally happen, right? Like, some stupid superstitious muslims get killed near a newly-uncovered tomb, and now they are refusing to dig any further and it might force her to cancel the dig early and come back empty-handed, and that would be so hard on the reputation she's work strenuously to maintain, being a pretty young girl in a man's domain. So it's up to you to gather all the clues, make the right inferences, be gentlemanly, and then gather all the cast in a single room for a big reveal of who is actually the murderer. Like, how could she not let me kiss her feet after that.

Taylor Lashae, you pathetic SIMPs.

>>16904042

>>16904184
Damn, I feel called out.
How to unsimp yourself if you want to try out different types of girls but don't have the opportunity to do so. You either end up bitter or simping for art hoes on /lit/

>>16906208
>You either end up bitter

Well, I for one refuse to be bitter.

>>16906231
Making use of the disjunctive syllogism, I'll thus call you a simp.

>>16906256

Wouldn't be much of a frog otherwise.

>>16905853
Sorry, it's wrong for two men to marry, even if one of them is a girl (male).

Hey, Anon, hate the game, not the player.

>>16906555
Trips or no, then, that girl is not literally you.

>>16906664

Seethe.

>>16906696
She's literally me in all the ways that matter.

>>16906760
Oh okay just a heads up you will never be a woman in all the ways that matter

>>16906760

I highly doubt there are two creatures this perfect on earth. God doesn't love us that much.

>>16906769
Have sex, incel.

>>16906836
I can make you believe that I'm her.

>>16906846

Please work on your humility.

>>16906707

>>16906882

Much appreciated.

>>16906882
How much Walter Pater have you read?

>>16904042

Stick to authors who don't dismiss anything in Plato and see his work as a unified whole. Here's my recommendation:

>Blondell (who has previously written under the name Mary Whitlock Blundell) has produced a fine study of Plato’s use of characterization, one that must be reckoned with — and will be read with pleasure — by all serious students of the dialogues. The central thought behind her book is that the divide between “literary” and “philosophical” readings of Plato’s works is artificial and unhelpful because a proper understanding of his philosophical concerns and his methods for expressing them require the integration of both approaches.

Marius and the Renaissance
Just DLed a Delphi collection on him. I’ve so many books to read, but I think I need to revisit some of his work again

>>16906760
In at least one big way that matters, you are not her.

Some of Strauss's students (and their own students) have excellent commentaries, essays, and articles on Plato worth digging into, such as Seth Benardete, Stanley Rosen, Ronna Burger, Michael Davis, Alex Priou, Leon Craig, Robert Bartlett, and Christopher Bruell, among others.

Strauss's friend, Jacob Klein, wrote an interesting book on the Meno that still inspires dramatic readings of the dialogue, and his sorta-pupil Eva Brann has a nice collection of essays just on Plato.

Other dramatic readers like Ferrari, Griswold, Howland, Miller, and Plochman all have very thorough and interesting commentaries on a slew of dialogues.

Heidegger's lecture course on the Sophist and his readings of Theaetetus and the cave passage in the Republic, while unusual, are with grappling with, as are the hermeneutic readings of his student Gadamer. John Sallis, who operates a bit in their vein, has a collection, Being and Logos, worth looking at.

Some earlier scholars of Plato, like Friedlander and Jowett and Schliermacher, are all worth the read, even when you find yourself disagreeing with them.

Averroes' commentary on the Republic is pretty cool, and Al-Farabi's commentary on the Laws and summary of the Philosophy of Plato are fascinating.

>>16908271
Oh, and Debra Nails's Prosopography book, that shit's glorious as an autistic account of every historic personage that appears in the dialogues.

>>16904042
Political Platonism by Dugin is worth your time.

>>16904042
Just came to say this woman is perfection.

>>16908369
I agree

>>16904042
What's this aesthetic

Yes this woman is great, but she's no match for the girl at my work. It's incredible how an obsession with a girl has sparked so much creativity and inspiration. If only I can have the guts to leave my girlfriend.

>Proclus - Commentary on Timaeus
>Proclus - Theology of Plato
>Marsilio Ficino - Platonic Theology
Marsilio Ficino also has tons of commentaries spanning just about every dialogue, even if its just a two page essay.
Arthur Farndell has published collections of these commentaries
>Gardens of Philosophy (misc)
>When Philosophers Rule (Republic, Laws Epinomis)
>All Things Natural (Timaeus)
>Evermore and Shall Be So (Parmenides)
>On the Nature of Love (Symposium -- his most famous commentary)
Simplicicus also has a bunch of commentaries from memory
I'd highly recommend also reading Plotinus's Enneads if you're up for it but Ficino and Proclus are my goto guys

Got really into Plato and Heidegger in college and downloaded a shitton of secondary lit from Scribd and bookzz to read for fun. Huge miss to hit ratio with Plato scholarship, unfortunately.
