I've read a great deal of Playing and Aristotle's Ethics and Politics. I'm looking to move (for now) to the next few steps but the time gap between major philosophers is large from this point so I don't know where to go. I'm mostly interested in politics and ethics stuff rather than logic etc

Augustine, then Aquinas, then Descartes and Leibniz

Does Augustine require any additional reading bar the Bible?

Epicureanism and stoicism in a quick brush over is good or deeper if you're interested is fine
Medieval philosophy is good, Augustine is important if you like Plato
If none of those interest you then just go descartes > Hume > kant
If you like descartes (you may if you like plato) then study spinoza, leibniz, malebranche
If you like Hume Berkeley may be of interest along with Francis Bacon (probably Roger Bacon from medieval age)
Obv if you like kant fichte but if you dc too much for him skip to hegel then kierkegaard
After that phenomenology is good then analytic then continental if you'd like to

No he doesn't. You'd probably want to know more plato because it makes a lot more sense if you know plato vs Aristotle. Just a cursory understanding of the bible is fine but reading the bible w it is probably inspirational if you're Christian too

No he doesn't, but the neoplatonists are historically important and strongly influenced Augustine, just not as historically important as some say.

Really it doesn't have the same value as Plato, but they did develop many ideas.
