péché philosophique

Unsure this means sodomy and not just philosophical sin Yellow is the colour (talk) 16:26, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

I am pretty sure it does mean philosophical sin; the corresponding article on the French Wikipedia has the title Péchés philosophique et théologique. Rather than deleting it, the definition should be fixed, accompanied by a box “ English Wikipedia has an article on: Philosophical sin ”. This is a somewhat technical term of (moral-theological) art, not a simple SOP.  --Lambiam 00:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I lean keep (but modify the definition) per Lambiam. The meaning is "sin that is sinful on moral/ethical grounds but that is not offensive to God", so philosophical/philosophique stands for "moral as opposed to theological" in a very particular way. No online English dictionary has a definition for philosophical that comes even close to explaining this distinction. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 16:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I have added a sense philosophical sin; the question is now if the first and formerly only sense should be deleted. I’m happy with Delete, but perhaps someone feels this should go to RfV.  --Lambiam 09:49, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

@Lambiam Where did you add the sense? ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 16:25, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Oops, I must have forgotten to commit my change; now truly added.  --Lambiam 16:42, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
