Most of my life I've been very, very unintestered in philosphy but I've recently developped a curiosity for some philosophical concepts like "structuralism" and I'm a bit curious about what the fuck type of political philosphy the Greeks developped after a friend told me they were reading Aristotle for their poli-sci class. What should I read? No self-help books please and thank you.

      Yeah, note he's a lot better on pre 19th century stuff though. Has some pretty cringe takes on later stuff.

        Meh, every western philosopher has cringe takes post-marx, as they tip-toe around him straight into positivism/structuralism/post-modernism

          Thats true, and at least naive Positivism/Logical Empiricism had the good grace to prove itself wrong.

            Sis, third wave of positivism is different this time, I promise, just a little bit of positivism, I swear.
