adjectivephilautic (comparative more philautic, superlative most philautic)
comparative more philautic · superlative most philautic
- Of or pertaining to philauty.
Although it is anticipating somewhat, I consider that point of view which inclines, with Weininger, to describe this attitude as philautic, or, with other writers, as autoerotic, egocentric, subjective, or egoistic, to be both misleading in principle and definitely depreciatory.
1921, Carl Jung, Psychologishe Typen
