Aristocrates was an Ephebian Philosopher specifically mentioned in Small Gods by others who follow him, Ibid, Didactylos and Xeno being the most notable. He wrote the Platitudes.

His name is a clever combination of two the three great fathers of Roundworld philosophy, Aristotle and Socrates (the only one missing is Plato), and it also works as a play on 'Aristocratic'. There did exist an 'Aristocrates of Athens', although this may not be where Terry got the name from.
