How long did it take for you to finish Aristotle's entire body of work? no memes please
>>
>>8776015
Not worth reading entirely.
>>
I selectively read Politics and that was too much already.
>>
>>8776024
>>8776020
I have 2200 pages worth of reading ahead of me and I'm not sure where to begin. I'm aware that a large part of his work is just him shitting on sophists and doing pseudo natural science which I do find intriguing, but even with that said it's still gonna be difficult to go through even half of it.
>>
>>8776062
Just read a plato.stanford article or something.

Starting with the Greeks is nice but you don't have to trudge through all of them. A lot of it is boring, dated, uninteresting shit, especially Aristotle.
>>
>>8776015
>entire body
heh
>>
>>8776075
I'll probably read his section on rhetoric and politics, ancient cosmological thought doesn't really intrigue me. To avoid feeling like a dilettant and scratch my completionist itch I'll probably read him on and off though.
>>
2 hours
>>
>>8776276
i said no memes you fucking bully
>>
>>8776279
2.5 hours
>>
No memes huh? Well I guess FUCKING LANGUAGE is off-limits.
>>
>>8776015
hes seriously not worth studying
>>
I haven't read everything of him, and rarely do read everything an author writes unless I'm extremely fascinated by him or her.

I did take a course on "On the Soul" in university though, which was very interesting.
>>
just read ulysses, tells you everything you need to know
>>
>>8776260
Completionism has been intellectual suicide since the printing press.
>>
>>8776477
this.

philosophy is actually the easiest type of 'serious' writing to skim.
>>
>>8776477
>>8776611
I see your point, it's just that I find the greeks really interesting so I'll want to read it either way.
>>
>>8776321
LOL
>>
>>8776260
do NOT do this.

You don't need to read 2200 pages, but you should read Categories, De Interpretatione, Posterior Analytics, Topics, Physics, Metaphysics, Nichomachean Ethics, De Anima, Politics, and Poetics if you want to read the Aristotle that's still relevant today
>>
>>8776015
I have only read ito Politics, Nicomaquean Ethics, and Metaphysics. Can't remember dates for shit, but im pretty sure each one took me at least three solid months.

I want moar.
>>
Read Ethics, Politics, Rhetoric and Poetics... if you have ballz then read logic home dog
>>
>>8777782
>the ass of buridan
>>
>>8776062
definitely read metaphysics shits amazing, read physics to get a better grasp of it. politics is redundant ethics just plain boring. havent read poetics though proably will at some point
>>
¿Alguien que sepa como tradujeron 'De Caelo' al español?
>>
>>8776321
Bertrand, and Green are literal cucks, m8, ffs

>>8777771
what do i start with senpai
>>
>>8780675
look up a college or graduate course on Aristotle and mimic its syllabus
you don't just motor your way through Aristotle; why would you think this is a good way to get good?
>>
>>8780705
I was thinking about doing ethics->politics->physics->metaphysics->rhetoric or something idk
>>
>>8780705
>look up a college or graduate course on Aristotle and mimic its syllabus
