Aristotelészhez

Aristotelészhez is a Hungarian phrase that translates to "to Aristotle." In Hungarian, Aristotelész = Aristotle; the suffix -hoz marks the directional or dative-like case "to." The combination is used to indicate that the following text is an address, dialogue, or homage directed at the philosopher.

In Hungarian-language literature, Aristotelészhez appears as a form of title or dedication, often for essays, letters, or poems that engage with Aristotle's thought. Such works typically frame their content as a conversation with Aristotle, a reflection on his ethics, logic, physics, or political theory, or as a meditation on how his ideas relate to contemporary questions. The phrase signals a dialogic, reverent, or interpretive stance rather than a direct quotation.

There is no single canonical work named Aristotelészhez; rather, it functions as a recurring motif or titulature used by different authors. Depending on the author and era, it may accompany a brief introduction, a longer critical analysis, or a personal reflection that both critiques and admires Aristotle. As a literary and intellectual device, Aristotelészhez encapsulates the enduring influence of Aristotle on Hungarian philosophy and letters, while allowing for contemporary reinterpretation.
