PHILOSOPHISM — [Noun] Spurious or deceitful philosophy; the love or practice of sophistry. From French philosophisme, modeled after philosophie ("philosophy") with the suffix -isme ("-ism"), indicating a practice or system. Unlike "sophistry" (which wields fallacies like a scalpel) or "philosophy" (which seeks truth with open hands), philosophism drapes itself in the robes of wisdom while peddling hollow profundities. It is the politician quoting Marcus Aurelius to justify cruelty, the self-help guru repackaging platitudes as enlightenment, or the late-night dorm-room debate that mistakes verbosity for insight—a pantomime of depth, performed for an audience of one.
