Insofar

>insofar

I get it if one individual person has this tick of sorts but it seems to infest most philosophical literature and it is genuinely awful.

What the fuck.

You wouldn't hate me if I said it every now and then, right buddy?

Probably wouldn't hate you.
But you are not an entire realm of academia
you are just a person.

Aight thanks pal it's a useful word I sometimes enjoy it

Just don't write anything philosophical lmao.

You're just young. The word actually gets used in "real" contexts, periodically: in a stand-up comedy set, in a board room, etc. You'll deny this becase you're young and haven't heard it used that way. Adults with a 105+ IQ use it sometimes. It's an upper high-school-tier word, not that amazing. Just because you've been reading some philosophy where they harp on it (philosophers are often bad writers) doesn't invalidate the word.

There is a page in the Book of Kells which is nothing but a stylized presentation of the word. This would seem to legitimize it, as a word.

Yeah it’s used in a lot of academic philosophy. You can baselessly call these philosophers hacks all you want but I would personally defer to their stylistic preferences over those of some random user.

Sui generis is worse, it reeks of community college philosophy 101.

I honestly love words like that where it's just a couple prepositions smooshed together.
