>>9681138
It's going to take you at least a year

>>9681138
Why would any one do this to himself? Are you studying (or planning to study) philosophy?

>>9681138
read only the most important

Read everything.

>>9681148
Was I not supposed to "start with the Greeks™"?

>>9681167
Yeah but you don't need to read literally everything attributed to Plato.

>>9681167
That's your starting point?

>>9681167
I'll just help you out here by saying that you shouldn't get reading advice from a bunch of STEMtard anime-watching teenagers online

>>9681138
If you read for two hours a day it will be over in less than two months, what's the problem?

You're probably reading too fast tbqh.

>>9681148

>Why would any one do this to himself?

Some anon actually care about learning properly so they are gonna make it.

Some anon only care about the appearance of learning so they are not gonna make it.

>>9681167
No, it was the Sumerians.

>>9681183
this was directly from the philosophy project guide though.
>>9681188
I'm planning on watching lectures from professors afterwards desu.

>>9681205
Too bad you can't write.

>>9681205
But really every Plato's work matter?

>>9681188
Was thinking this. I make notes and my own commentary to reflect back on it.

>>9681210
Does literature even date that far back?

Start with the late Romans.

>>9681222

>this projecting from nowhere

Why are you so triggered by that post? Do you secretly feel that you're not gonna make it so you lashed out in anger? Is that it?

>why do I keep projecting all the time? it comes across as the most miserable and bitter tact that I could possibly choose and anon seems to immediately see it and call it out the second that I try; yet I persist...

>>9681258

because reddit spacing is a meme

started by newfags

to call out other newfags

>>9681236
He's true though. You can't write.

>>9681283

>He's true though.

You mean he's right? Dipshit.

Look the only way he could feel knee-jerk anger off a post that innocuous is if he felt like he was lacking in some way. That's all there is to it.

Enough of anon and his precious boy complexes.

>>9681277
It's wasteful. I know that makes no sense but it triggers me anyway. For some reason I feel like we should use these pixels more wisely.

>>9681292
Maybe he wasn't angry, maybe he was just making fun of you. Food for thought.

>>9681292
Holy shit dude, go hang yourself.

>>9681292
I hope you're a troll. If not, I'll keep triggering you until the thread dies.

I read Aristotle I, half of the collected works, in one week. I feel as if I missed a lot, but apparently it did its thing because about eight months later I was pargnant with a philosophy book that was muchly based on Aristotle.

The more you read Plato the more you will understand Plato, the more you will appreciate the dialogue format, the more you will begin thinking like Plato, the more you will understand Plato's humour and appreciate the Socratic irony. In a month and a half you'll be on your second reading of Greater Hippias laughing your arse off at Socrates talking about fine pots of fine bean soup. Such is Plato.

"How to never get the most out of what you read, in one easy step."

This is cute until you get to philosophy. You'll understand plenty of Plato but will miss out on a lot of the Platonic tradition; you won't have a fucking chance doing this with Aristotle.

>>9681550
I didn't start witth plato though.
