>underrated
it's clear you only read to impress other people. when you say "oh this is underrated" what you mean is "when I tell people I'm reading the organon, they don't react with awe." one could make a serious case that the organon is the most influential book(s) of philosophy ever published.

Idk I watched some weird alien in a blue room explain it to me book by book and then went and read it. Epochal work. You'd think it would be more popular considering it's major part in defining the Western mind for like 18 centuries.

>most philosophy people don’t know of its existence
this is simply false. if by “philosophy people” you mean “people who like to tell others they’re into philosophy,” then sure. if you mean “philosophers,” you’re wrong
>>21625533
it is no surprise that the average person does not know the titles nor work of Aristotle; it is frankly hilarious to me to think that someone honestly believes that philosophers are unaware of its existence

I mean people who are at least nominally interested in philosophy

most people who are “nominally interested in philosophy” sound like this

it is no surprise that these people haven’t heard of Aristotle’s work. they are deeply unserious about the field
