literal translation is ';love of wisdom';';Philosophy'; is a word composed of two Greek terms for ';love'; and ';knowledge.'; true or false?
Sorry to break the news, guys, but the answer is false. The meaning of philosophy (蠁喂位慰蟽慰蠁委伪) is ';love of wisdom.';





Philos = love, or dear friend


Sophos = wisdom (not knowledge)





The Greeks have a different word for knowledge: ';episteme';





The love of knowledge, if it were a word, would be ';philepisteme.';





*Check your Liddel and Scott Greek lexicon and you will see that ';sophos'; is *never* translatable as ';knowledge.'; *';Philosophy'; is a word composed of two Greek terms for ';love'; and ';knowledge.'; true or false?
True. Sophism is the idea of learning for the sake of learning. The root ';philo'; means love or like, as in 'pedophile'. :P
True. It means both the love of knowledge and the desire of knowledge.
