@bengrossbg @PAHoyeck @olivertraldi The sections of A Theory of Justice are too clear for libertarians to have misread it so badly.

@rbnmckenna86 @olivertraldi I’m realizing now I ought to have ranked Rawls lower

@olivertraldi @PartTimePhilo In what world is Rawls easier to read than Descartes—or Berkeley for that matter?

@LIgfried Plato is challenging but he presents his ideas very clearly. But, for example, The Metaphysics and The Posterior by Aristotle are very difficult and not clear at all. This is why there are so many interpretations of Aristotle’s texts.

The idea that Plato is super readable and Aristotle is extremely difficult is a weird meme that makes no sense. Several of Plato's dialogues are quite challenging and most of Aristotle's shorter works are pretty accessible.

@PartTimePhilo @moriah_bridges I read Gorgias a few years ago and it changed it my life! That's where I started and now I am making my way through the list.
