Spread across the Disc live many philosophers, great (and arguably, less great) thinkers who solve the mysteries of the universe. The most fertile philosophy-ground seems to be around the Circle Sea, in places like Ephebe, but the Counterweight Continent also contends. [[Uberwald|Uberwaldean]] philosophers of the [[Bonk School]] are referenced by [[Nutt]] in {{UA}}.

Philosphers in Ephebe tend to be of the beardy, bald type often wearing little more than a towel. Sometimes a little less too, but no philosopher would let the state of their dressedness interfere with a good idea. Philosophy includes logics, theology, social-economics, mathematics, and "natural philosophy" (physics, etc).

It is mentioned in {{TLF}} that sometimes a [[troll]] will go into the hills, sit down, slow down, and catch philosophy as if it were a disease. It may very well be a disease to trolls, as a troll who has been philosophizing like this for long enough will eventually lose all sentience and just become an ordinary rock. The only known example of a troll catching philosophy in this manner is [[Old Grandad]].
