A joke with no punchline.

Is Aquinas a good follow-up to Aristotle? Looking for stuff to dive into after finishing the greeks.

Yes he wrote extensive commentaries on Aristotle

Stop with this shitty meme, you're doing nothing good with it. The goal of important philosophers is to construct complete systems of thoughts, so theoretically at least none of them ever have the need for anything from the past. I do admit that you have to know the entire context if you want to understand the philosopher, but if you want to understand his philosophy just read his damn works. If you're not superficial you'll have to read them more than once or read some secondary material, during which time you'll be able to check out the influences more thoroughly.

How come I always see this jump from Aristotle to Aquinas? They both lived a long ass time apart. Is there nothing worthwhile between the two?

That's like using Windows XP before Windows 95, what a horror!

>using

You mean studying, brainlet.

Wow, that analogy flew right by you.

Nice defense mechanism.

I bet you "use" Hegel like the innocent little flower you are.

The punch line is coming next Sunday, don't you worry.

I just bought Beyond Good and Evil and the only Philosophy book I've read was Plato's Republic which was pretty boring. How bad of an idea is reading Nietzsche now?

Cicero.

Just save it for later and start with Birth of Tragedy. Better yet, actually read more of Plato, then everyone else until Nietzsche, and then start with Birth of Tragedy. I took the first path and feels pleb mane.
