Commentarialism

/ˌkɒmənˈteəriəlɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A practice or belief system centered on writing or relying heavily on commentaries, especially for interpreting texts or ideas.

Etymology

From 'commentary' (from Latin commentarius, meaning notebook or annotation) combined with the suffix '-ism' (denoting a system or practice). This term emerged in academic contexts to describe the tendency to rely on interpretive commentary rather than primary sources.

Kelly Says

Medieval scholars literally built entire educational systems around commentarialism—they'd study Aristotle by reading 50 different scholars' commentaries on him rather than the original text! This shaped how knowledge was passed down and shows how the medium of learning becomes the message itself.
