RFV passed. Thanks for the cites, Doremítzwr! (Though I prefer phobosophy, personally.) —RuakhTALK 23:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hmmm, interesting; however, note that, whereas (deprecated template usage) sophophobia is the fear of learning, (deprecated template usage) phobosophy is the fear of abstract knowledge or philosophical thinking, which makes the latter far more truly antonymous with philosophy.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 15:47, 17 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
