aristotelian 

Aristotelianism is a tradition of philosophy that takes its defining inspiration from the work of Aristotle. It is usually characterized by a rigorous logic and an analytic inductive method in the study of nature and natural law, with a teleological account of causality.

Dr. Faustian thinks of other subjects such as Aristotelian philosophy logic, mera physics, medicine, Justinian law, divinity but rejects all of them.

Aristotelian Sophism

A form of sophistry that rigorously follows the rules of Aristotelian logic—valid syllogisms, no formal fallacies—while using false or misleading premises, or while ignoring crucial context. The argument is logically impeccable but unsound. It often takes the form of accusing opponents of committing logical fallacies (e.g., “that’s an ad hominem”) while being fallacious themselves (e.g., committing the fallacy fallacy). Common in strong-restricted debunking, anti-pseudoscience activism, and neo-atheism. The practitioner appears rational by wielding formal logic, but the reasoning is disconnected from reality or strategically omits counter-evidence. It is the art of being “formally correct” but substantively wrong.

Example: “He argued: ‘All pseudoscience is harmful; homeopathy is pseudoscience; therefore homeopathy is harmful.’ The syllogism was valid, but the major premise was false (some homeopathy may be harmless placebo). Aristotelian sophism: logically perfect, factually wrong.”

Non-Aristotelian Logic

A family of logical systems that reject or modify one or more of the fundamental principles of Aristotelian (classical) logic: the law of non-contradiction (a proposition cannot be both true and false), the law of excluded middle (a proposition is either true or false), and monotonicity (adding premises never invalidates a conclusion). Non-Aristotelian logics include paraconsistent logic (tolerates contradictions), fuzzy logic (truth comes in degrees), intuitionistic logic (rejects excluded middle), and non-monotonic logic (allows revision). These systems are not irrational; they are designed to model real-world reasoning where contradictions occur (e.g., quantum mechanics, legal conflicts) or where vagueness is essential (e.g., heap paradox). Non-Aristotelian logic is often dismissed by classical logicians as “deviance,” but its proponents argue that classical logic is only one tool among many, not the universal standard of reason.

Non-Aristotelian Logic Example: “In a paraconsistent logic (non-Aristotelian), a scientist can hold that light is both wave and particle without the system exploding into triviality—contradiction is managed, not banned.”

Aristotling 

The act of pretentiously explaining a subject one knows little or insufficiently about. This is typically committed in uniformed organizations such as the military, where commanders are more inclined to demonstrate the superiority of his own knowledge in desperation, to effect retention on his command legitimacy, where possibly inadequately qualified for.

Private Jim: Sir, Wouldn't carrying out this mission risk breaking the international law on conflict?
Warrant Officer Encik: acturry, the uniided nations since long long time ago since ancient rome allowed using shotguns since it was necessary to protect them from the nazis in the war
Private Jim: ...
Private John to Private Jim: Don't bother Jim, he's aristotling again
Private Jim: Knew it
Warrant Officer Encik was aristotling since he spoke confidently on a subject he knew little about, risking lying to protect his legitimacy of command over Private Jim. This is evident in how the U.N. came into existence in 1945, far after Ancient Rome had collapsed, and in how shotguns were only invented in the 19th Century, far after Ancient Rome had collapsed in 476 AD/CE, and most evidently in how the Nazis were engaged in war only in the 1940s, far after Ancient Rome siezed to exist in 476 AD/CE.
