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.
Hey y'all! Like I said in my last post, I would still love to keep in contact with anyone who's willing through my personal accounts on other platforms. So, as promised, here are some of my social media links. (The first few are more active than the rest, but I do use all of them pretty consistently, even if I don't post that often.) Please feel free to follow me, and I'll follow you back if you don't look suspicious. :) (You can also +1 or comment your profile name in this post so I know who you are.) [removed] Anyway, to follow up on my previous post... I've been scrolling through tons of old G+ posts for the past few days and thinking a lot about this page, and I've come to this conclusion: I don't think I (or any of the other managers) will be actively trying to continue this page on another social media platform. I've looked around at options like MeWe, which I've been hearing a lot about, and it seems like a great site, but I don't thin...

ReplyDeleteActually, they changed it because in America a philosopher is someone who studies philosophy, and not a sorcerer.

ReplyDeletewait, that isn't what it means in England...?
Actually, it was never realistic as Philosopher's Stone.
ReplyDeleteErin Hill I'm sure there are ridiculous philosophers in the US too.
ReplyDeleteErin Hill The words The Philosopher's Stone, is a proper noun by itself.

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
