If there are multiple refents in our language of the word "Philosophy",
wouldn't it be more in the spirit of Lojban (perhaps even required)
to make separate words for them?

I proposed "Tadnytadni" to mean "that thing we do in philosophy
class."  Perhaps the referent of "my philosophy on..." is something
more like a belief, and the referent of "Eastern philosophy" is
something more like "kamprijytoctadni".
