If you can find them for free, and acquire them for free, ask yourself: is that what they are worth? You are the one examining your life. Knock yourself out.

Thr main thing is outlines of the arguments.. It's a little more difficult with dialogue style

Imagine those legs crushing the life out of you while she jerks you off...

Fucking winamp classic man nice one.

Aquinas' commentaries on Aristotle are a genius commentating on a genius. That's a super-high bar.

The trouble with finding an equivalent for Plato is that most of these high-level commentaries were done in the Middle Ages by Christian and Muslim thinkers. Plato was virtually unknown to the West in the Middle Ages, because his works in their Ancient Greek had been lost to the West with the fall of the Western Empire. The only really common work of Plato in the West during the Medieval period was the Timaeus.

Apparently there are some ancient commentaries from Greeks and Romans. You might want to check those out.

Thanks, I appreciate it. A friend told me the closest I would get was Proclus on Timaeus. I wish I would have started with that and then gone on to the Aquinas ones
