Explain why the definition of philosophy as the love of wisdom in insufficient?​

The word “philosophy” literally means the “love” (philo in Greek) of “wisdom” (sophia). So, a philosopher is somebody who loves wisdom. This, of course, leaves us with 2 important questions: What is wisdom? And what does it mean to love wisdom?

The idea of philosophy goes all the way back to ancient Greece. It is said that the philosopher Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE was the 1st to call himself a philosopher—a philosophos, or “lover of wisdom.” In calling himself this, he was not claiming to be wise. Instead, he was merely saying that he was somebody who valued or cherished wisdom.

Later, the philosopher Plato, who lived in the 5th century BCE, explored these ideas in more depth. In a text called the Symposium, Plato claimed that a philosopher was somebody who was “between the wise and the ignorant.” In other words, a philosopher cared about wisdom but also knew that they were ignorant (we will see tomorrow how Plato was influenced in this by his teacher, Socrates).
