'''Aristotelianism''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|ær|ɪ|s|t|ə|ˈ|t|iː|l|i|ə|n|ɪ|z|əm}} {{respell|ARR|i|stə|TEE|lee|ə|niz|əm}}) is a philosophical tradition inspired by the work of [[Aristotle]], usually characterized by [[Prior Analytics|deductive logic]] and an [[posterior analytics|analytic inductive method]] in the study of [[natural philosophy]] and metaphysics. It covers the treatment of the social sciences under a system of [[Natural law#Aristotle|natural law]]. It answers why-questions by a scheme of [[four causes]], including purpose or [[telos|teleology]], and emphasizes [[virtue ethics]]. Aristotle and his school wrote tractates on [[Physics (Aristotle)|physics]], [[biology]], [[metaphysics]], [[logic]], [[ethics]], [[aesthetics]], [[poetry]], [[theatre]], [[music]], [[rhetoric]], [[psychology]], [[linguistics]], [[economics]], [[politics]], and [[government]]. Any school of thought that takes one of Aristotle's distinctive positions as its starting point can be considered "Aristotelian" in the widest sense. This means that different Aristotelian theories (e.g. in ethics or in [[ontology]]) may not have much in common as far as their actual content is concerned besides their shared reference to Aristotle.
In
[[Maimonides|Moses Maimonides]] adopted Aristotelianism from the Islamic scholars and based his ''[[Guide for the Perplexed]]'' on it and that became the basis of Jewish [[scholastic philosophy]]. Although some of Aristotle's logical works were known to [[western Europe]], it was not until the [[Latin translations of the 12th century]] and the rise of [[scholasticism]] that the works of Aristotle and his Arabic commentators became widely available. Scholars such as [[Albertus Magnus]] and [[Thomas Aquinas]] interpreted and [[Aristotelian Thomism|systematized Aristotle's works]] in accordance with [[Catholic theology]].
