=== Tropes featured in his other works: ===
* [[Beige Prose]]: Compared to Plato, Aristotle's stuff is very dry and difficult to read. This is partially because most of his finished work were lost after the Fall of Rome, and what we have available today is essentially his lecture notes. However, many people find that the simplicity of Aristotle's words make his works delightful reads. [[
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]
* [[Take a Third Option]] / [[Golden Mean Fallacy]]: Aristotle believed that every virtue represented a sensible third position between two equally bad extremes. For example, in conversation, say too little and you'll be considered shy, say too much and you'll bore everyone else. "Wit", therefore, is the virtue of saying just the right amount.
