There's always room for doubt lol. 17 minutes ago, Will Do said: There are others. Others just not on UM Davros, You need to work on your sense of humor. You're too serious. Philo did many things in the shadows. However, they still ended up naming 'Philosophy' after him. That's definitely interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there's Plato. There's Aristotle. There's Socrates. There's a lot more... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Greek_philosophers But when talking about ancient philosophers, Philo is usually barely mentioned. If at all. Yet, 'Philosophy' is obviously named after him. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting that information from? From wiki : EtymologyEdit "From Middle English philosophie, Old French philosophie, and their source, Latin philosophia, from Ancient Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophía), from φίλος (phílos, “loving”) + σοφία (sophía, “wisdom”). Synchronically, philo- + -sophy." https://www.qcc.cuny.edu/SocialSciences/ppecorino/roark-textbook/Chapter-1.htm : What is Philosophy? Part I. Definitions Defining philosophy is as difficult as trying to define love. The word philosophy is not much help. Philosophy is a combination of two Greek words, philein sophia, meaning lover of wisdom. In ancient times a lover of wisdom could be related to any area where intelligence was expressed. This could be in business, politics, human relations, or carpentry and other skills. Philosophy had a "wholeness" approach to life in antiquity. In contrast to this, some modern definitions restrict philosophy to what can be known by science or the analysis of language" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Due Posted December 24, 2020 #31 Share Posted December 24, 2020 @onlookerofmayhem I'm not talking about defining philosophy, I'm talking about naming it. Plato is definitely more famous than Philo. Why isn't it termed 'Platosophy'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you slander or imply unfounded speculation as you have then the responsible thing for you to do is either support of retract your comment. jmccr8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Due Posted December 24, 2020 #36 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Oh yeah Jay, how does the existence of Gobekli Tepe fit in with there not being an advanced civilization in the region of southern Turkey/Syria that is dated to at least 12 thousand years ago and probably several times more back in history?

Well, just like Sophia means wisdom. Most names have some sort of meaning behind them. So you retract you statement, which I find pretty odd? : 19 minutes ago, Will Do said: Yet, 'Philosophy' is obviously named after him. Why obviously?

Hi Davros Absofogginlutly Will has not interest in actually sharing on an intellectual level by supporting statements and engaging a subject productively and will not accept less from him as any other member here that shares my POV about discussions. I offered Will a thread of his own almost a year ago and he refused I don't mind arguing abstract concepts if they are discussed in a place where it is not an abstraction from serious readers of these topics my apology for the diversion. jmccr8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. I interacted with him to show my point of view to others. I knew nothing productive from him would come about. Only thing of interest to me from him is what's his personal experience that led him to believe the UB. But I know no straight answer will fruit from it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Due Posted December 24, 2020 #49 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Believe you me, any claim of the non-existence of God is most definitely an abstract concept. But believe what you will.
