Opinion: Who is the most underrated/under read Philosopher?
I will start… I find Aesop and the Fables to be underrated and wrongly pointed at simply for children. These stories can and must be applied to adult life to live a better and more virtuous life. IMO.
(Yes, I am aware that some think Aesop was potentially not one person, but many, and some question he even existed… like Homer).
Would love to hear what you all think.
Sad, that it is so empty here. Maybe the difficulty is the definition of when a philosopher can be considered underrated or under-read? How would one make that assessment? What barrier needs to be overcome to make a philosopher no longer underrated or even overrated?
Off the top of my head, I would propose most Greek philosophers, aside from the famous ones. But really any country has their history of philosophy.
Side note: I guess the most under-read philosophers are those whose works are no longer available to us and can thus no longer be read :c
