eclectic method
1. In ancient use, the distinguishing epithet of a class of philosophers who neither attached themselves to any recognized school, nor constructed independent systems, but ‘selected such doctrines as pleased them in every school’ (Liddell and Scott); Diogenes Laertius speaks of an ‘eclectic sect’ founded by Potamon of Alexandria in the second century after Christ. In modern times this designation has been for similar reasons given to or assumed by various philosophers, notably V. Cousin; and it is also applied to those who combine elements derived from diverse systems of opinion or practice in any science or art. So also eclectic method, eclectic system, etc.
