What would be the correct order to read Aristotle's work?

>>8961653

1. don't

Op again, currently i got only the following titles:

>Metaphysics
>Physics
>Poetics
>On the Soul
>Protrepticus

Is this good to start? if so, where?

Ideally one would want to read the Organon before proceeding to these works, as they provide the logical underpinning on which the rest of his philosophy is based. Proper order would go something like:

Categories > De Interpretatione > Prior Analytics > Posterior Analytics > Topics > Sophistical Refutations > Poetics > Politics > Nicomachean Ethics > De Anima > Physics > Metaphysics

Not OP, but thank you. That's super helpful

I bought his complete works several months ago. Save yourself the time and frustration and just read his Ethics and a summary of his other key philosophies that are still considered relevant. Most of his works consist of outdated natural science, meticulous definitions of words that are now commonplace and obvious, and exceedingly lengthy refutations of other philosophies of the time (and other than Plato, nobody bothers to read that shit, so Aristotle is basically impossible to understand in some spots without a reading supplement).

It's interesting to see the way he thinks and appreciate his genius (he was definitely very intelligent), but he is simply not worth reading totally, like Plato.

Just a small correction, but you should read Nicomachean Ethics before Politics. Ethics is about virtue and morality in an individual while Politics is about virtue and morality in a society. The end of Ethics leads directly into Politics.

relatively bad advice, imo. the organon should be avoided (aristotelian logic is nonsense) and the physics aren't much better. stick witn the metaphysics, nicomachean ethics and poetics
