Republic and Nicomachean ethics fine to start with philosophy wise? I have the Iliad and tragedians lined up.

>going straight to the Republic
>>7804928
Sorry mate I have only read Ion and Meno so far and I'm reading The Republic. Republic is probably the best Philosophy stepping stone I can think of.
>>7804937
The Apology is the only necessity, you should get more out of the Pre-Socratics by getting a basis and going back to them
>>7804937
What text do you suggest one should read precursory to the republic?
>>7804928
Nicomachean Ethics is a slog. Republic is okay, but Symposium is more fun. Start with the pre-Socratics though, even more fun and just as relevant to current philosophy.

Hahaha right it's funny because she has ice cream on her back. But do you have anything to add or are you just socially conditioned like that.Actually what is it that you are trying to infere, that republic is the anti-aesthetic of katawa shoujo?

Tough reads m8. Start with the apology and the others dealing with the death of Socrates then the longer plato ones(Symposium, Republic) then Aristotle
>>7804952
Apology, Credo, Euthphro. They're all short
How do i start with the greeks?
Homer?

Literally doesn't matter.
I don't know why /lit/ gets so autistic about what you should start with in regards to authors.
It doesn't matter. You can always come back to a work and should be doing so anyway.
interesting.
