Reading the Republic is not enough to say that you have read the Greek. It isn't even enough to say that you know anything about Plato.

Both are equally believable. Most of the students don't read a single book during the course of their undergraduate studies, they're forced to read memepapers written by joe nobody and only fractions of valuable works instead.

Why would I read the Greeks? The only useful ideas from the Greek are already part of the collective social consciousness. Plus they were wrong about nearly everything. So the only benefit in reading the Greeks in modern is to learn what isn't good philosophy. This is ironic because 4channers think the Greeks are an untapped source of knowledge. So you just end up looking like a Dunning-Kruger mouthbreather.

REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Name one (1) great philosophical theory you think is unique to Aristotle and I will point *exactly* to where you can find its antecedent in Plato. Aristotle is to be cherished for his broad and penetrating scientific interests.
>inb4 hylomorphism
Hylomorphism is invaluable for any materialist ontology, but materialism is a cancer that had its metastasis in Aristotle. Besides, hylomorphism is just a development of the idea posited in Timaeus 49-51.

Reading philosophy isn't reading. It's like having a 3 year old boy tell you girls don't have a floppy thing down there. No shit kid. Everyone knows that, but congratulations for discovering a basic fact of life. That's what philosophy is. Some incel describing basic, obvious, observable facts of life and Dunning-Kruger'ing himself and others into thinking he is intelligent.
