I know that there have been several posts on where to start reading Aristotle, but I think this one would be a little different approach than usual so I think I should ask.

My aim to study Aristotle and other philosophers is to gain an understanding on living a better life. This would mean that I would like to study the texts focused on topics like ethics etc. So I wish to spend less time on reading about, say, metaphysics, unless it is necessary to understand the philosopher and also since I know that there are better models of reality now (in physics etc).

How I plan to study Aristotle is that I will first properly read the articles on https://plato.stanford.edu/ . This includes (in order) :

 1. [Aristotle][1]
 2. [Aristotle's Logic][2]
 3. [Aristotle's Categories][3]
 4. [Aristotle's Ethics][4]

I think that these articles might give me the necessary understanding of Aristotle's works and so I can directly study his Nicomachean Ethics, Poetry and Rhetoric without getting too deep in the rabbit hole, since Aristotle can be obscure to beginner readers.

**Please provide any additional feedback or references to help me in my efforts to study Aristotle.**
