Another question: what i should read in order to understand references to Aquinas in A Portrait of Artist As A Young Man by Joyce?

>>7970479
You should have a very strong knowledge of Catholicism and Ireland in general, and that is a very complex task since a lot of it is lived. Portrait has a very sacramental atmosphere and is deeply rooted in Catholic aesthetics so it depends, how deep do you want to go?

go on i just want to know what they are talking about

>>7970625
Republic>Metaphysics>Categories>Ethics>Bible>Confessions>City of God>1000 page secreted works of Aquinas>Collected Works of Meister Eckhart
This is the hardcore way, but some works which are easy and insightful, Catholicism by Robert Barron, Jesus of Nazareth trilogy by Joseph Ratzinger and his writings in general are pretty useful for the mindset.

you forgot Euthyphro > Apology > Crito > Phaedo > Meno > Symposium > Republic > Laws

Homer is nice to have for the Republic.
