i got logophilia and the only prescription is more cowbell!

in honor of the philosophy course that's taking up my reading for pleasure time, i'd like to give a shout out to a few words that i like the sound of...whether you're into philosophy or not, you've got to agree with me that these words have a lovely sound and feel as they roll off your tongue...

aristotelian- can't you hear some shakespearian actor such as sir laurence olivier saying this?
thomism- i adore the silent 'h'
platonic- can be a good thing
epistemology- i just want the sssss to keep on going
dualism- i just like it
hierarchy- the 'ie' and 'ch'
aesthetic- again, letter combinations that make unexpected sounds
transcendentalism- how very walden of them to include this. another letter combination
