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)

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)
