Where do you move on from the greeks? Feels like you could spend a lifetime studying them alone.

the Germans. But the Greeks are really the start and end of philosophy. Anything else is bonus reading.

Use the Stoics as a bridge to Chinese philosophy as understood by Westerners for most of history.

You see how there is no consensus? Because nobody actually follows through with "greeks" enough for this question to be asked.

You move on from the greeks into your chosen stem field which is where you should have started in the first place. The accepted alternative is you go to darwin, ALSO where you should have started in the first place.

Literally fuck the greeks it's so integrated into out western canon that you can't be raised in a white (or semi-civilized equivalent) household without being raised with an integrated understanding. You live in a privileged time where this is the case. You can live off the fat western progeny and truly dedicate yourself to something outside of traditional values.
