Aristotelic

/ˌærɪstətɪˈlɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of Aristotle or his philosophical methods, particularly his emphasis on logic and systematic knowledge.

Etymology

From Aristotle with the suffix '-ic' (relating to). This less common variant of 'Aristotelian' emphasizes the specific characteristics of his intellectual approach.

Kelly Says

The '-elic' ending makes it sound more poetic than 'Aristotelian,' but it means the same thing—you'll mostly see it in older philosophical texts!
