Aristotelian en · ADJ

Pronunciation

  • (Southern-England) audio
  • /ˌæɹɪstəˈtiːliən/

Etymology

From Latin Aristotelī(us) or Aristotelē(us) + -an. By surface analysis, Aristotle + -ian.

Meanings

  1. (not-comparable) Of, pertaining to, or advocating the philosophical or logical theories of Aristotle.
    • Having noted that, it should be kept in mind that such scholars (i.e. those who reject that Cusanus is trivialist) should not cite as evidence for denying he was a trivialist the fact that Cusanus was an advocate of Aristotelian logic and the Law of Non-Contradiction. This is because an advocacy of both Aristotelian logic and the law of Non-Contradiction are quite compatible with being a trivialist – the trivialist accepts the truth of all propositions, including the Law of Non-Contradiction and other laws of Aristotelian logic. 2008, Paul Kabay, A Defense of Trivialism, page 36:
