>>25493740Thanks I wanted a list of hundreds of critical theory and feminist works
>>25493740In theory, yes but when you read Plato, for example, and find most of his dialogues engaging and want to talk to someone who studied philosophy, you'll be met with derision or absolute fear that you're some kind of evil fascist.I've had two instances of philosophy graduates feel the need to tell me their strong views on Plato just because I mentioned him as someone I've read.It's a good idea, OP for its own sake, but it's far from a uni education (thankfully).
>>25494037>I've had two instances of philosophy graduates feel the need to tell me their strong views on Plato just because I mentioned him as someone I've read.What did they say? Are modern philosophy students really so retarded that they're seething about Plato?
>>25494044Plato is Le fascist and le patriarchal
>>25494057>Plato is Le fascist and le patriarchalJust stop lending credence to these sorts of people’s opinions. They are unserious people and the genuine consideration of their worldview was left behind alongside the zeitgeist of 2008-2019. We tested it for a decade and it has been thoroughly refuted by its own fruits.
>>25494037>>25494057funny enough, i had a professor argue the opposite. iirc plato's utopia was gender-neutral and relieved mothers from caring for their own children, to the point that the sexes were functionally identical as far as social roles went. on that basis, she argued that plato was a proto-gender-abolitionist. also socrates was a homeless guy, something something vagrants' rights. there are many conflicting takes on the guy, and anyone who dismisses you for a mere interest in plato is simply a pseud.

>>25493740Isn't reading philosophy generally extremely low brow and retarded? It's certainly not literature in most cases.
>>25496507This is the same for some novels.
>>25496519Sure, but the OP is about philosophy. No need to misdirect, my friend. :)
