Random Thought #51

I just read today that philosophy literally means "the love of wisdom". I never really thought about it too much but it translates quite well. Philo means love and sophos means wisdom. Guess those philosophers aren't quite so useless after all. Maybe they are perceived this way because they think abstractly or in theoretical terms versus offering tangible evidence, which is what determines success these days, but I think their pursuit of goods of first intent is far nobler than the common pursuit today of goods of second or third intent. Power to the philosophers!!
