jismith1989:Interesting. Have you read any of Plato's dialogues? If you haven't, I think you should: they're quite accessible and even witty (the famous "Socratic irony" ). I found them really funny, but that could just be my odd sense of humour!
There is a nice translation of Plato into Esperanto here.

That's nice! The Republic's a big dialogue though, so maybe people would be better off starting with the shorter dialogues, especially if their Esperanto skills aren't completely solid. I don't know if there are any translations of those around?

sandyduggan:Thank you kasxperanto for recommending the book "A Guide to the Good Life", by William B. Irvine. I am mid-way through and enjoying learning about Stoic philosophy. I am an 'eternal beginner' with Esperanto but I appreciate so much about the language and the interesting people in the Esperanto community.
Nedankinde. I'm glad to see it is interesting to someone else.
