Its cope but in this age of political correctness and degeneracy, I want to read the unfiltered thoughts of the famous Greek philosophers which have been highly regarded by thinkers across multiple eras.

I already plan on reading The Symposium and The Republic by Plato, was wondering if anyone has other works to suggest.

Preferably ancient greeks, but if you have a really good suggestion from other philosophers that's good too.

You might like the Discourses of Epictetus which is about stoicism

Plato's "Republic" is very based except for the equality between men and foids
Also Aristotle's "Politics" is very good

you should read the first five dialogues and then read the republic.btw it's normal to not understand shit for the first time.Philosophy is a hard discipline so don't expect to know everything from the first day.

you should probably get the first volume of this series,so you have a better idea of what is going on.
