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.
tbh, and this is very pseud of me, the way of most reward is to start with the greeks and work your way through the christians and then the moderns. western philosophy generally has a linear and coherent history imho, not sure about non-western philosophy
I'm taking an eastern philosophy class this semester and holy shit the professor sucks and it's such a shame because I really wanted to dig into it with some active guidance. It's rough going from a class on ancient Greek philosophy taught by someone that was frequently very critical of Plato and Aristotle in interesting ways, to someone who's legally changing their name because of how much they love Hindu mysticism and won't engage in "wrong" answers to work towards some point but just dismisses them as wrong until someone spits out something close to what they were expecting/said last class.
