So, philo adalah cinta
dan sophia adalah wisdom
Maka, daftarkan aku menjadi muridmu, Sisca
ku akan ikut menekuninya
ku akan masuk terus tak akan mbolos
ku akan datang paling pagi
duduk di deretan paling depan
tempat yang enak untuk memandangmu dan mendengarkanmu
ketika kau uraikan makna wisdom dan cinta
ku terpesona dikau, o, lover of wisdom
ku terpukau padamu, o, lover of God
kemana saja dikau
kan kuikuti

What is philosophy ?
The literal meaning, from two Greek ones,
philo, love
and sophia, wisdom.
So philosophy is the love of wisdom,
and a philosopher ia a lover of wisdom.
But wisdom is not an absolute -
there is always more wisdom than any one person,
or than all people together, can absorb.
As Pythagoras, the first to call himself a philosopher,
pointed out,
a philosopher is a lover, not a possessor, of wisdom.
Then if,
wisdom belongs only to God,
then a philosopher is a lover of God.
According to Plato, the first characteristic of the philosopher is
that he must be prepared to follow the answers wherever the argument
goes.
And Plato's great pupil, Aristotle added,
'Dear is Plato, but dearer still the truth'.
Then what's wrong to be a philosopher ???
