Really!? My undergraduate degree was in philosophy. I spent a lot of time studying Aristotle’s “Metaphysics” (which isn’t about metaphysics). How does it apply to software development? Nichomachean Ethics are very helpful. But don't read Aristotle's actual work unless you have a philosophy background. Way too dense and complicated. Try "Aristotle For Everyone" by Mortimer J. Adler, and then "Aristotle" by David Ross.
