The modern philosophy, as it's taught in universities, is shallow mental gymnastics in most cases. Find and read all Plato's books, and I mean all, not just the short official list approved for students, and see how much universities intentionally omit.


Which of Platos works are you referencing here? Which ones are commonly not on the accepted list? Asking out of pure curiosity, have been meaning to read more Plato


Timaeus, Phaedo, 7th letter, Parmenides...

Super esoteric— But so good.
