Is there a difference? Is it a yin yang thing?

If one is wise, one also loves. If one loves in totality, not in seeming or desiring, then one has attained wisdom. They are one and the same. So where does philosophy come in? It is how Man tries to understand the One in terms of the Separate.

I'll add two sense.
AND Hi "RED"
Philosophy is theoretical; often pursued or set into a belief system; with the purpose of gaining knowledge; which hopefully leads to wisdom. To "Love" it; seems relatively abstract.
LOVE on the other side of the scale; is definitely abstract; irrational; usually not considered theoretical; and/but might manifest in ways that bring both knowledge and wisdom.

Hm. Well, I've never thought of Philosophy as Love at all, or wisdom of love, but the arranging of what 'IS' as seen through the minds eye. Therefore, philosophy must be perception, and love is relative.

Philosophy is the love of wisdom.
Wisdom is the application of knowledge and that is what philosophy is all about.
The wisdom of love is putting it in action such as giving money and items to the poor.
Hugging your wife.
etc.

As Asha so succinctly states (my alliteration astounds me), it is a never-ending consideration, a conundrum. If I say "neither" then you'd say "neyether" or if I say "either" you'd say "eyether"...and the beat goes on. It seems to me that each embraces the other. Puzzling, nez pas? But then philosophers love going to the mat over "puzzles." Handshakes and Hugs. I am Sirius
P.S. Question back at you...Do philosophers love to wise off OR do they wisely love??? Still Sirius

Philosophy is Neither!
Its an perplexing ability to reason without thought.
Some may say 'common sense', only if we look at whats common, we soon see otherwise. Its a combination of academics, experience, sight not seeing, and the final...
Wait for it.....

The love of wisdom.
It also implies the pursuit of wisdom.
The wisdom of love would be an experience not a persuit

Philosophy is examining the possibilities; wisdom is understanding them; love is acceptance of all of them.

YES!!! Philosophy is born of the longing for experience of Absolute Truth.
