i am right now reading pic related, it's fucking heavy and they often talk about greek words without explaining what the word actually mean. Stuff like "Arh this writer uses word A and the other word B to describe the same thing but person maybe has the word from doxographical text we know existed but don't have C while B explains what we expect is described in C but uses other words so he must have access to text D" and it's all very scholarly and complicated, i only keep reading this book about the subject and not another to get better at reading.

>I don't want to read any Greeks or other works
yikes!
But seriously, I was in the same boat until I was in an incredibly awful situation and read pic related to avoid killing myself. I found it a good, consider introduction to early greek thought and gave me a greater interest and appreciation in Greek thought. From my understanding, Heidegger was greatly influenced by Heraclitus and Parmenides, so it may help you. I hear there is a good lecture Heidegger gave on Heraclitus that is out there on the internet, so check that out as well. I hope to read Being and Time myself one day.

What Greek thinkers should i read else than Play-doh, Aristotle and the book "The Presocratic Philosophers" pic related
