Which philosophers should I read for practical knowledge? I would consider something like the Socratic method practical since you can apply it to everyday conversations. In contrast, the theory of Forms isn't really applicable.

>>18974399
Aristotle's Organon and Pseudo-Cicero's Rhetorica ad Herennium. The former will teach you syllogistic and dialectical reasoning while also informing you about various logical fallacies, and the latter will teach you how to be a persuasive speaker, which will include how to invent new arguments, how to memorize parts of a speech, and how to gracefully deliver it. If you're looking for something more practical, then I suggest you drop philosophy altogether for the time being and pick up books on homesteading and horticulture instead.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 3 12:14:02 2021 No.18975151 Aristotle. Read Nichomachean Ethics and then other ethical philosophy. People conceive of ethics as being the epic trolley problem but it’s really a field about how people ought to live their lives.
