Heraclitus and Parmenides. Doing both because they are both THE prototypical Real Niggaz of philosophy. Both of them were utterly sincere in their engagement with the TRUTh and trying to know the world deeply. It is Plato's great debt of influence to both of these that makes him such a REal Nigga. Whereas Aristotle is a mixed case because he was obviously also partly influenced by teh fake ass BItch Nigga Democritus. That's my theory, anyway, but I could be wrong in my diagnosis.

I had already, through my interest in physics/cosmology, arrived at priority monism by my self. Deconstruct anything and everything and you find the bottom oneness (quantum field), use emergence to build up and you find the category of everything; both ways leads to the Parmenidean One. While Parmenides (and Heraclitus) might be said to deny Plurality, Platonism doesn't.

Study Physics (like Penrose' Road To Reality) and modern Set Theory, and you'll understand Neoplatonism.
