Should companion essays be read before or after primary sources of Philosophy/Higbrow Lit? I like to read primary sources first so I can make up my own mind first, but would it be more advisable to, say, read an essay on Aristotle's Logic before going through the Organon? >pic slightly related

Just read the original texts. Why do you need somebody to tell you how you should read? Honestly even wikipedia would be a better idea to just briefly skim over the philosophers ideas, otherwise you run the risk of being stuck with the essayists interpretation/opinion rather than your own.
