    • 1951, Austin Warren, “The Style of Sir Thomas Browne”, in The Kenyon Review, volume 13, number 4, pages 674–687:
      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.
    • 1972 December, Herbert McCabe, “Transubstantiation: A reply to G. Egner”, in New Blackfriars, volume 53, number 631, pages 546–554:
      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.
    • 1996, Thomas K. Carr, “Review of Heidegger and Jaspers by Alan M. Olson”, in Journal of the American Academy of Religion, volume 64, number 2, pages 452–455:
      As Stephen Erickson puts it in his essay, "Jaspers is more Aristotelianly in the world and Heidegger more Platonically, even Orphically, looking out beyond it."
