[Anonymous No.17003749]

Plato or Socrates, whichever was the main thinker in Plato’s “Socrates”

So a manlet.

[Anonymous No.17003933]

Useful for what anon, it depends what is your purpose, if your purpose is reading Plato, then reading plato is quite useful but if your purpose is not reading plato then reading plate becomes not really useful. Same with the others

[Anonymous No.17004436]

>>17003392
aristotle.. he writes about concepts like self-disipline, addiction that are applicable to life

[Anonymous No.17004452]

>>17003694
For you.

[Anonymous No.17004464]

Socrates never wrote anything down and Plato was a faggot, so I'd say Aristotle

[Anonymous No.17004476]

Socrates was the best philosopher, in Plato's dialogues

[Anonymous No.17004643]

>>17003694
He probably was shredded since the Greeks were really big on fitness. I like to imagine him giving a lecture at the local gymnasium while his bros are getting a nice pump

[Anonymous No.17004664]

>>17003392
Socrates evidently, then Plato, then Aristotle.

But they're all useful.

[Anonymous No.17004674]

this, if that nigga were alive today he would be praised by a fucking lot of modern disciplines, even the faggy psychology

[Anonymous No.17004677]

>>17003694
His real name was "Aristocles" but he was named Platon because his body was comparable to a trunk and was unironically a wrestling champion.

Many sources report on it.

[Anonymous No.17005024]

>>17003392
Well, considering Plato created the fictional character, Socrates, picking him would just be a vote for Plato. Obviously Plato had a much more important impact on the world, so Plato without question.

[Anonymous No.17005043]

>>17005024
There are other sources on Socrates for example Xenophon and Aristophanes. I think there is a generally accepted Socratic philosophy distinct from Platonism.

[Anonymous No.17005064]

>>17005043
I should also mention Diogenes admired Socrates and not Plato. He said that antisthenes was the one who carried on Socrates' legacy because Plato was too abstract. You can get a sense for how they were different.

[Anonymous No.17005099]

Probably Aristotle but no one could ever handle Socrates' banter.

[Anonymous No.17005296]

Greek philosophers? More like geek philosophers.

[Anonymous No.17005345]

>>17005043
Is there? Xenophon is the only real source. Aristophanes parody seems spot on to Middle and Neo Platonism, where intermediary daemons are satirised as clouds.

Aristotle
Socrates
Plato

Aristotle is an actual philosopher.
Plato should be a prophet or a theologian.
Socrates should be an orator.

Go back to watch Rids an Morssim.

Also, Nietzsche is trash, and all of his bullshit against reason and the notion of objective reality. Any of the three mentioned worked on real problems unlike the mongrel of your picture.

[Anonymous No.17006875]

Aristotle for art, Plato for real life.

[Anonymous No.17007483]

>Socrates should be an orator.
He criticised oratory in Gorgias.

[Anonymous No.17007528]

>>17003392
Socrates because he had a sense of humour where as Aristotle (from the little I've read) seemed exceedingly autistic

[Anonymous No.17007708]

>>17003392
Obviously Aristotle. He was much more practic than the other two.

[Anonymous No.17007745]

>>17003392
What a silly question when you only give those three as the options.

[Anonymous No.17007787]

>Epicurus
A great midwit test is to ask sóyboy: "do you think the stoics gave Epicurus wedgies for only caring about food and drink, ha ha?"

[Anonymous No.17007839]

Since we only know about Socrates through accounts I'll tally him out. Don't know what you mean by "had [...] philosophy" Philosophy is an act of investigation into wisdom and truth. Who investigated wisdom and truth more thoroughly between Aristotle and Plato and through which are we made more ready to undertake philosophy better through reading? (I think that is a better phrasing of the question. While Aristotle lays his conclusions on the table more readily than Plato, Plato requires more engagement from the reader while also giving us examples of conversations between different schools of thought. Aristotle is useful if you want to eschew the whole 'pondering philosopher' model and jump straight into a realm of study. Plato is more useful if you want a sense of breadth in thought that can help you be more prepared for anomalous circumstances.
