Hello all,
I know that many RAT members are quite a bit more fluent in all aspects of ancient civilization/history than I am, so I was wondering if anyone might have suggestions in regards to ancient classical philosophy? Specifically, who/where to start, and who/where would be logical to progress to so as to gain a thorough understanding of various schools of ancient philosophy. So far, I've only read bits and pieces of (surprise) Plato and Marcus Aurelius. Beyond some of the more popular schools/ideas of Platonic and Stoic thought, I really do not have much exposure.
Thanks much,
Alexander
