>implying Souls aren't willingly and happily reborn after, at least, 1000 years in heaven as explained in Republic: that Guardians must return to the Cave for the betterment of all, and also Phaedrus.

Who's Porphyry?

Is it Gerson? I have a friend who recommends him periodically. Is he good?

Did he also do Aristotle commentaries? There's another dude I always mix him up with because the same friend recommends him too.
