      Probably not. But, Plato and Aristotle will still most likely be read since they are still (rightly) read after 2500 years.

      The reasons we read them now are also (in part) reasons to read secondary literature. And we do now read secondary literature that's more than 300 years old. And we're better at preserving secondary literature than we used to be. Not an airtight argument! But there it is.

      Good point. The commentarial tradition can stand the test of time. That's really interesting that it is possible Charles Kahn (whom few know) may have readers 300 years from now rather than more famous thinkers like David Lewis or Robert Nozick!

      I found Klosterman's "But What if We're Wrong" to be really intellectually nourishing. It brings out (more carefully than I expected, frankly) how hard it is to predict influence.

          Thanks for the reference! I had not heard of that book. There certainly is chance and luck involved. I also would like to think that books that stand the test of time uphold some fundamental elements of wisdom. But culture can also change in a blitz.
