Most of the philosophy I’ve read could be stated in probably five pages. Yet much of it is drawn out over 50+ pages. Is there a reason philosophers don’t just state their points and be done with it? Are they trying to make their arguments airtight so that they don’t have to write as many responses to criticism?

I’m writing an essay right now and if you help give me websites to how greek philosophers influence Greek thought by not believing in Greek mythology or explanations thanks!
