Any tips on understanding this stuff /lit/? How to determine important parts for stuff that is not so important. Just any tips or advice when dealing with philosophy are welcome. Especially understanding this man.
By reading secondary literature that pontificates on Aristotle.
IIRC, David Bostock (student of Quine), a philosopher and logician has a book on Aristotelian physics and metaphysics. Look into that.

Am I just retarded? Do other people have problems understanding this?
>>7830177
Which part specifically?
>>7830188
Well I've just started the actual book after getting through the introduction.
I mean in general. I haven't been going 'what the hell is this' yet, but I'm assuming that will come soon.

Some knowledge of physics (classical mechanics) and rudimentary overview of contemporary metaphysics helps. What's your background?
>>7830244
Completely ignorant of everything you just mentioned.
Where/what do I start/with?
