Eastern philo is better any way

>>40986236
Plato's writing was never lost, it's simply that nobody studied anything but 1 text in the west for about 1000 years after they fucked up trying to combine the Germans and a successful empire.

The Eastern empire could still read the texts, that's part of how the Ottomans got into them.

>inb4 we were pretending to be retarded

>>40986236
Are you retarded? Firstly, Aristotle is way more important. Secondly, it was precisely the reintroduction of Aristotle into western Europe that feuled the intellectual dimension of the twelfth century renaissance, and Aristotle dominated western European thought until the reformation. Early modern thought was a response to Aristotle, so if you think he isn't important you're a grade a moron.

If you need a 1700 year old Greek dude to formulate intellectual positions, reevaluate your definition of intelligence.

On Greek philosophy, Diogenes is funny as fuck.
