The Greek phrase in Wittenberg's motto comes directly from a line in Plato's Republic (328a)

"Philosophy" means -- literally -- love of wisdom.  The word was coined to refer to those who don't settle for simple answers to big questions. They seek deeper truths, and they are willing to look beyond what is superficial and conventional to discern what is real.  They don’t let others think for them.  They want to figure things out for themselves.  For this reason, of course, philosophy is not for everyone.  If it is for you, we can help.

We invite you to look further into our website where, in addition to information about Wittenberg Philosophy, you will find recent Wittenberg photos we think you'll enjoy.
