Plato is a good place to start in my opinion. It's where I started and the organic procession of the arguments were a real pleasure to read. To be specific, I started with 'the republic' and branched out from there.

luckily there's literally a book called "essential dialogues"

https://www.amazon.com/Plato-Reader-Essential-Dialogues-Classics/dp/1603848118

you don't need to read pre-socratics, but you probably should read some sort of secondary introductory work on Plato if you are completely fresh to him or philosophy in general

Did you check the description? it really made me feel

You don't need to, but you could read everything we have of them in a few hours. If you have a day you could hit all of them, their SEP pages, and Aristotle's rundowns. You can read Plato without reading them, but the rate of return is amazing if you do.

He's a paranoid schizophrenic, and someone on 4chan found internal photos of his house on a relative's Facebook page, then posted them on 4chan saying 'i broke in reviewbrah's house, we're gonna get him soon'

>He's a paranoid schizophrenic
source?

>>9347575
that image, wew
would watch

>Some are born with slavish qualities, regardless of the family they are born in.
>We know that a slave is a slave because if the slave was not a slave, they would rather commit suicide than continue to live in such conditions.

Neither are anything close to comprehending his thought, but they are fun to think about regardless.

Republic, Phaedrus, Symposium, Apology, and Phaedo are the absolute barebones essentials

>>9347543
what does he talk about?

>>9347622
I would strongly lobby for adding Meno to that list.

The bulk of his show is him responding to fan mail. He used to respond to every piece of fan mail he received, but then he started to get to much mail.

>>9347585
>He's a paranoid schizophrenic
no he is not

>>9347611
>>We know that a slave is a slave because if the slave was not a slave, they would rather commit suicide than continue to live in such conditions.
I agree with Aristotle tbqh

>he hasn't read theaetetus

What is the best way to tackle the pre-socratics? Would oxford's The First Philosophers: The Presocratics and Sophists be comprehensive?
