Love?

Given the importance of the distinctions between the different Greek words for love, it would be helpful if someone could add to the article just which kind of "love" is meant in the description of the philosopher. I assume "philia", because that's the one actually used in the etymology of "philosopher", but I'm not sure. Saforrest (talk) 13:47, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Laughably incomplete

Obviously the Greeks can and should be shunted into a single subsection pending better treatment. Absolutely no one uses "sage" in reference to Stoics in modern English.

On the other hand the Chinese 聖/圣 and 聖人/圣人 absolutely belong here, as our current treatment at Four Sages does not even scratch the surface of the other figures accorded the same status and the importance of glossing how it's different from both the Greek philosopher sages (in respect) and the Christian saints (in nature). Alternatively, we could use Sage (China) for the Chinese concept, but then this page's current content needs to be Sage (Ancient Greece) and the current namespace turned into a dab. There probably isn't enough material on either subject to require a fork yet though. — LlywelynII 06:05, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
