Definitions

As no one else has posted apart from Graeme, I have taken it upon myself to do whatever possible to increase our knowledge of philosophy, starting with the basic definition of the word 'Philosopher', here are two different arguments for what the word means.

1. A student of or specialist in philosophy.

2. A fool who torments himself when alive to be remembered when dead.

Now I don't know about you guys but I am liking the thinking behind definition two.
