      unironically grab a copy of picrel. guided tour of aristotle from start to finish.
      >which books can I skip?
      the biology, mostly. it's a historical curiosity.

      has the right idea, but I'd start with Ethics/Politics first. they're the easiest aristotle. once you have that under your belt move on.

    If he was so smart, why did he think bees come from carcasses?
    If someone told you that today, you’d call him a moron. What’s the difference?

    Reminder that Aristotle was a raging moron and a misogynist who thought women had more teeth than men, thought eels came from mud, and that objects fell at a constant rate, all easily disprovable if he just CHECKED with his eyeballs. His biggest contribution was being so unimaginably wrong about everything that it motivated future thinkers to disprove him, thus starting modern science. To answer OP: you don’t read those books, you use them as a coaster for your drinks because that’s all they’re good for.

    That’s the old Aristotelian curriculum that the Platonic academy of Iamblichus and Porphyry had students read. Go read them.

    Then go read the Platonic curriculum and realize Aristotle knew nothing.
