Heather Donahue As an English person I can confirm that that is what it means in England as well. Otherwise, how could we have a concept of philosophy? Also, the Philosopher's Stone is an actual mythological concept connected with alchemy, so 'sorcerer's stone' makes no sense whichever way you look at it.
Alright, Attack on Titan fans, I don't know if you already know this, but a live action movie based on the anime is coming out on September 7, 2018. I hope they get it right. I'll cry if it's wrong. #AnimeWeek ~Annaya the Supernatural Sociopathic Shinigami

ReplyDeletewell, the word has no ties to magic in America.
also, uh, "Sorcerer's Stone" sounds cooler
Nishi Tripathi the word philosopher has nothing to do with it. Philosopher's Stone is the name for the mythical item
