By reading secondary literature that pontificates on Aristotle.

IIRC, David Bostock (student of Quine), a philosopher and logician has a book on Aristotelian physics and metaphysics. Look into that.

Some knowledge of physics (classical mechanics) and rudimentary overview of contemporary metaphysics helps. What's your background?
