Plato should come before Aristotle. Read The Republic at least

Ok good also look at Trial and Death of Socrates and other Platonic dialogues. Also Rene Descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy is pretty important

i'd rather not read a bunch of stuff by the same author at once, and i'd rather mix it up if i can. do i need to read the other platonic stuff sequentially?

Nah, but remember that all of western philosophy is merely a footnote to Plato. You'll find the more you read just how much influence he had, so I would get to know him

Aristotle was more of what we would call a "scientist" than a proper "philosopher" like Plato. But they were all called philosophers back then. My point is Ari writes much more technically. Idk, Metaphysics is prob my favorite Aristotle

Do I need to read metaphysics and on the soul before I read other stuff from post classical era?
