Hello guys, how are you?
I'm writing an essay about philosophy (ontology) and I'd like to write the title in greek, since it's a language which carried philosophy to another level. Could you guys translate the following sentences in proper greek please ? I haven't decided which title I'll choose yet.

Philosophy to save our lives.
Philosophy to save my life.
Philosophy to save our souls.
Philosophy to save my soul.

Thanks a lot, cu soon bros.

Yο

Well, the Greek title can be a bit different depending on what your essay is about for ex.

If your context's summary (or your proposition)is "we need to use philosophy to save our/my ..." title is this > 1)Φιλοσοφία για τη σωτηρία της ζωής μας (2) της ζωής μου (3) σωτηρία των ψυχών μας (4) της ψυχής μου.
Or it is like "a specific philosophy/theory about saving our lives etc" > 1) Η Φιλοσοφία της σωτηρίας της ζωής μας (2) ζωής μου (3) της σωτηρίας των ψυχών μας (4) της ψυχής μου.

Hope you're not trolling here, this would be really weird.

First of all thank you mate, and indeed I'm not trolling at all. Well, I was thinking about this title because I'm glorifying philosophy in this essay, and I wanted the title to sound like I was praising philosophy, as "it matters so much/it is so much powerful and compulsory it could save our lives". I guess the first translations you gave me stick a bit more to the idea I'm trying to transmit, aren't they?

Yes, fits better than the 2nd one, and I think better than just a plain translation of the English titles, without considering context. :)

Φιλοσοφία εστί Σωτηρία accurately translates to Philosophy is Salvation with εστί being derived from ancient Greek just to add some flavor :thumbsup:
