Principal, principial

Hello Esowteric, if you are right, I thank you for correcting Nasr's page. But I see for instance here [1] + [2] + [3] that "principial" exists. Thank you for your comments. --Hamza Alaoui (talk) 10:37, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. "principal" and "principally" are far more common than "principial" and "principially", and the original editor/s chose to use the former. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 14:03, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. The original editor (me) chose principial and someone changed it to principal. Of course principal is far more common than principial but they have different meanings. In philosophy, principial means "relating to the principle as the primary cause of a thing", "constituting a source or origin". Nasr's article says (section Religion and spirituality): "Daoud Riffi emphasizes that Sufism is the spiritual path followed by Seyyed Hossein Nasr in a universalist framework which attests to the principial unity of all major religions", which means that all religions unite in the same Principle (God). Do you agree that principial is, in this case, more intelligible than principal? If you do, would you please revert your change? I you don't, do you accept that I correct the text without reverting me? --Hamza Alaoui (talk) 09:54, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I'll revert my change, Hamza. Thanks again. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 09:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
