"Love of wisdom" is Harmonic Oneness with wise dominion, domus, the house or temple of embodied consciousness.
Hence, for God-realized philosophers such as Plotinus and Husserl, very appropriate.
For those who are merely academicians, manipulating symbols without much realization at soulfield level, lesser denotations would be more accurate...e.g., "logical positivism," "reductive neurophilosophy," etc.
"A Philosophy of Universality," Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, is an example of a more God-realized and focused philosophy.
Scientists such as William Tiller http://www.tiller.org are providing evidence for future philosophic discussion.
cordially,

That's a very interesting philosophical question. The reason philosophy is called philosophy is that philosophy is the name for it. If it was named say, Pauline, then you would be saying 'Is Pauline the right word to denote Pauline? Why?'
I suppose you are referring to the etymology of the word 'Philosophy'. This is from the Greek word "philosophia" derived from "philo" (loving) and "sophia" (knowledge). So a philosopher is a lover of knowledge.
So is it the right word? Yes, I suppose so. It's also really dead f*cking boring. I prefer Pauline.

Yes and No.
Philosophy = "Love of Wisdom"
The discipline of philosophy requires an open-mind and willingness to question your beliefs in order to search for the truth. In this way, I think this satisfy the definition of love of wisdom.
On the other hand, I usually come out of the philosophy class feeling confused, like I don't know what to believe in anymore. So in this way, I don't think I gain any "wisdom."
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” - Socrates.
So if wisdom = knowing nothing, what is the philosophy the study of? I think in order to answer your question, we need a more precise definition of "wisdom."

What better way to refer to philosophy other than to use the very word philosophy? Philosophy IS philosophy, after all. Or was this a philosophical question?

Yes, because it is as monotonous and annoying as Greek deserts.
