Hi, My question is - surely you can be a philosopher without holding the title of "agrégé of philosophy. The question would be - does he have sufficient originality of thought. I don't know if the admitted plagiarism is enough to discount all his thinking, but it sounds as if it doesn't. jmo. Springnuts (talk) 18:16, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. Part of the problem is your edit summary, imho, which makes it appear as if the lack of the specific qualification is what you think stops a person being a philosopher. But you pack a lot of POV when you say "the rational tradition of philosophy can sometimes be at odds with a more mystical understanding of the world by religious thinkers." I think it depends what he is writing - is he writing philosophy or not. If he is, then I would say he is a philosopher. But I am happy to let others make the judgment - eg this since your revert: [1]. Regards, Springnuts (talk) 09:30, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
