thing is, almost nobody actually starts with the greeks, and absolutely no one has the time to read all of philosophy, such that you'll always start out with something you won't fully understand, and have your further reading be guided by that initial interest
True, and it's the reason why as soon as you engage with one philosophical text you're pretty much locked in forever. But later philosophy is so replete with and dependent on references to predecessors that I'd struggle to understand how a freshfaced newbie could understand it
true, and as I said, they actually can't. still, it's broadly contemporary stuff that is most likely to draw their attention, because it engages more directly with their lived reality than the classics, the relevance of which only becomes apparent through these difficulties
Sounds like a good argument for a reverse-chronological reading of philosophy
yeah, and probably not just philosophy
(e.g. I'd say the fash/trad appreciation of greek statues and similar aesthetics is silly not because it is anachronistic, but because it involves an eradication of their significance)
