@SoulCultivated Read a great essay last night, “Happiness and Aristotle’s Definition of Eudaimonia” by Carlotta Cappucino. It references his Ethics Book 1. Really got me interested in diving deeper. Thanks for the list!

Want to read Aristotle but not sure where to begin? Start here: 1. Nicomachean Ethics What is the good life? His most accessible work and the best doorway to Aristotelian thought. 2. Politics What type of community helps us live the good life? Meant to be read after the Ethics. 3. Poetics What is tragedy, how it should be made, and why it evokes pity and fear? Short and approachable book. 4. Rhetoric What kind of speech helps people judge rightly? Best read after the Ethics and Politics. 5. Physics What is nature, and how does change happen? Focused on nature, more technical, and central to his natural philosophy.
