If you ever wondered what was going on with the Rambam's approach to Aristotle (whose science hasn't stood the test of time), please read:

• Rav Avigdor Miller on The Rambam and Aristotle

Also for this new month of Kislev, please check out the following from Rav Itamar Schwartz:

• Tribe of Binyamin (which is associated with Kislev)
• Mazal - The Bow (Sagittarius, the astrological sign for Kislev; Jewish astrology is totally different than atheistic non-Jewish astrology.)
• Avodah of Sleep (Winter is a time of sleep & is therefore associated with this very wintery month. Here, Rav Schwartz explains how sleep explains a woman's nature—woman, Chava, was created from sleep—and also how to use our dreams for personal growth, plus practical steps toward understanding your penimyut, i.e., your unique soul.)
• Power of Sleep (Going to sleep with the right intention is a form of mesirut nefesh AND mesirut nefesh is one of the ways to sort out the Erev Rav! For that source, please see the last paragraph in What to Do about the Erev Rav?)
