How old is the term 哲学 as a name for philosophy? This zh.wikipedia article describes the etymology of 哲学 by first relating it to the English word from the Greek meaning &quot;love of wisdom.&quot;  But then that article also refers to ancient Chinese.
Is this a term in classical Chinese?  Or is it more recent?
The wikipedia page you quote literally says &quot;1874年，日本启蒙家西周，在《百一新论》中首先用汉语词“哲学”来翻译philosophy一词&quot;. So &quot;哲学&quot; as a word is as old as that.
The Classical Chinese occurrences are about the word &quot;哲&quot;, not &quot;哲学&quot;. They are not exactly the same thing.
