OP The greek word for philosopher (philosophos) connotes a distinction from sophos. It signifies the lover of wisdom (knowledge)as distinguished from him who considers himself wise in the possession of knowledge.This meaning of the word still endures:the essence of philosophy is not the possession of truth but the search for truth,regardless how many philosophers may belie it with their dogmatism, that is, with a body of didactic principles purporting to be definitive and complete. Philosophy means to be on the way. Its questions are more essential than its answers,and every answer becomes a new question. (karl jaspers)
