Ethics, Physics, Metaphysics, On the Soul

The Basic Works has a pretty common systematic way of studying Aristotle, you can check it here : https://chengfind.wpunj.edu/Record/335527/TOC

In general, you want to start with Categories and On Interpretation, which lead into the "proper" logical works.
Then the Physics, which lead into On the Heavens and On the Soul, and other, less read natural philosophy. Then the Metaphysics, which will prove a tough, taxing read but are always relevant.
Finally, the Nicomachean Ethics, Eudemian Ethics, and Politics.

Oh god, did he actually say this?
>>
>>8409281
I read Politics, Nichomachean Ethics, and Metaphysics in that order. It felt right
>>
>>8411585
phil isnt about emotions, its about ratio
>>
>>8411585
I read there's a discussion over Eudemian Ethics being Aristotle's work. How is it different to the Nichomachean?
>>
>>8409281

1. Nicomachaean Ethics
2. Politics
3. The Organon (Categories -> On Interpretation -> Prior Analytics -> Posterior Analytics -> Topics -> Sophistical Refutations)
4. Physics
5. De Anima
6. Metaphysics
7. Poetics
8. Rhetoric

There's your basics anyway.

Almost, famalam

You should probably start with a really good book of modern scholarship on him. I've seen too many people who just read Aristotle and end up only properly understanding 1/3 of it with the rest all being gross misunderstandings.

>>8410494
There are two ethical works mate.
>>
>>8411608
Put Rhetoric at the end of the Organon and maybe move the Poetics to after On the Soul, and that's a very good order.
