  • You can read The Presocratic Philosophers by Kirk & Raven to get a background which’ll make the context of dialectics as introduced by Hegel make sense.

    You can still read the major works which were taught, dialogues featuring Socrates (written by Plato & Xenophon), Plato’s works (specifically Republic and Laws). By Aristotle, Poetics, Nicomachean & Eudaimonean Ethics, and Politics.

    I think for me, reading dialogues helped quite a bit. I found the audiobook of the Socratic Dialogues published by Uemi books to be a great resource. I would stick to a dialogue for maybe a week, since I’d have to go back and re-listen to bits when I had the time. I would take notes, ask “Why did Socrates say this?” “Why didn’t he say that?” “What was meant by the phrase…”.

    I really enjoyed Euthyphro, I am sorta learning Attic Greek so I can go through the dialogue in its original language. I often think I find myself in s similar situation, where the person I am engaging with sorta runs off.
