>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 19 18:00:32 2021 No.17823043 Republic and Euthyphro are the only dialogues worth giving a shit about.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 19 18:03:02 2021 No.17823062 Skip and go to Aristotle

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 19 18:06:41 2021 No.17823085 Whatever you do, DO NOT READ THE DIVINE PLATO IN ANYTHING BUT GREEK. First, get Learn to Read Greek from the Yale Press and continue with Athenaze.

Books VII and VIII are somewhat interesting, but I hate his writing style. Book IV if you want a better understanding of his political philosophy. His political philosophy is the only somewhat good branch of philosophy he talks about, everything else sucks.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 20 16:05:31 2021 No.17830255 >>17823010 Aristotle is worse than Plato, disregard anyone telling you to skip. For Plato, start with Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Meno, Symposium, then read whatever interests you.
