  1. In an Aristotelian manner.
    • Speaking Platonically and normatively, we attribute style to an author or charge him with lacking style; speaking Aristotelianly, we use the term as a description, hold that every author has a style, and turn our attention to analysing the specific character of this author or that.1951, Austin Warren, “The Style of Sir Thomas Browne”, in The Kenyon Review, volume 13, number 4, pages 674–687
    • We have a special name for this making, we call it 'creation', but it is not difficult to see that creation names an Aristotelianly impossible kind of making, just as transubstantiation names an Aristotelianly impossible kind of change; and for approximately the same reason.1972 December, Herbert McCabe, “Transubstantiation: A reply to G. Egner”, in New Blackfriars, volume 53, number 631, pages 546–554
