What word means “one who enjoys learning”?
What is the correct definition of a person who enjoys learning? Does an individual feel so “motivated”?
- I am curious. And wants to understand many things. What should I do?
I understand the term “philosopher” might be a good fit, in terms of its root words, however, the general population has an inconsistent understanding of this term, so I am looking for a more precise term.
I’m a person with an epistemophiliac who likes to gain new knowledge : http://www.merriamwebster.com/ In
order to understand epistemophilia, search for epistemophilia URL. http://epistemophilia.com//.
Rather than ‘philosopher’ here is an ancient Greek word:’philosophos’ – meaning ‘lover of wisdom’ (from philein ‘to love’ + sophos ‘wise’)?
‘Autodidact’ is one possible. Although it literally means’self-taught’, it does carry the connotations you’re referring to, of self-motivation, curiosity beyond the bounds of formal training; enthusiasm for knowledge.
What is a Polymath?
What does bibliophile mean, referring to the love of the artefacts of books, rather than necessarily their contents… but it doesn’t quite cut
it in this age where we get everything from so many sources… If you are not averse to the idea of
coining new words, how about “cognophile”? From the Latin roots: cogno, cognoscere – know, cognitio – knowledge, and the Greek: philos… This is
a great question. What is the name of this German phrase cognitionis amor in Latin which means “love of learning”?
I have always thought my husband is a knowledge junkie. And he made fun of it. As
for me, I’m a junkie.
According to what you want to use this word for, you might also consider ” autodidact” (see explanation) or the lil’s dictionary. Why should we ‘inspire’ someone who teaches themselves?
A polymath is defined
as a person with wide-ranging knowledge.
To the extent that you are trying to describe that person before she or he fully achieves this status, you could say budding polymath.
The specific word you want is not “Philosopher”, which, as you note, has specific connections to the realms of metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology, but rather Philomath, which means exactly what you asked for: doctor,
who makes you feel worthy of the word or which he is in your name?
What is a “culture vulture”?
How do the “knowler” look on the lookout for “cutting-edge knowledge”? Take “knowledge”, cut “edge”, add “er” in English!

Why is there a ban on it at the moment?
