After Plato and Aristotle, which Greeks are worth reading? Or do I just jump into Roman philosophy after Aristotle?

have you read the presocratics and sophists yet? Interesting fragments there. Plotinus is good also to start a journey into neo-platonism

Yeah I read that one book with the fragments. Interesting read.
Isn't Plotinus technically a Roman philosopher or am I being pedantic?

>> No.18261685

>>18261654
The Romans start out favoring epicurean and stoic schools, then academic skepticism with Cicero, then Platonism and Aristotelianism.

He wasn't greek.
In the times of Plato Greece was small. Aristotle was born to a diferent culture, to macedonia, he was seen as a barbaric being, but the best of thos barbaric beings.

Aristotle's father didn't raise Aristotle. And he wasn't Greek. No Greek with self respect would concider that. Stop pushing your dumb nigger loving narrative.

>Aristotle's father didn't raise Aristotle
are you retarded? how do you think Aristotle was able to be part of the Macedonian court? his father was a physician for the court and Aristotle's interests earlier in life were medical before he went into philisophy
>And he wasn't Greek. No Greek with self respect would concider that
true, but Macedonia's culture was hellenized at this point, to the point that people like Aristotle would go to Athens to get their educations, much like the Romans after the conquest of Greece

So what are some names of pre roman hellenic philosophers other than plato and Aristotle

>> No.18263222

Plotonius, maybe dip into some of the stoics.

But you're next stop is Averroes, Avicenna, Abelard, and Maimonides.

Then the wild world of early modern philosophy with Bacon.
