Thanks, but noumenon (the singular) is already there.

Noumena.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

I thought that was Berleonian?

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

I assume you're speaking of Milton Berle, right?

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

I know it's there; that's why it wasn't highlighted. :)

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

This list makes my head hurt. In a nice way. :-)

over 2 years ago VanishedOne said:

Aristotelian is on there. Miltonian strikes me as more of a literary term, assuming we're thinking of the same Milton. Paradigm is nicely Kuhnian.

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

We used to say aristotelian and miltonian a lot, and also paradigm (which ignited its own discussion, I believe) and paradigmatic.

over 2 years ago VanishedOne said:

Oh, yes: prima facie... I'll add a fortiori while I'm at it. Cheers.

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

Oh--I forgot to say that this is a very nice list!

over 2 years ago skipvia said:

How about ethicism--one of the many things I had to unlearn from my early forays into epistemology. I think we used to say prima facie a lot back then...
