Etymologically, a philosopher is a lover of wisdom. Assuming that someone who is wise is someone who lives well and that monks are seriously committed to living well, then a monk is a philosopher. On the other hand, many monks are committed to certain creeds or sets of beliefs, which means that their minds are not as open and questioning as many would argue the minds of philosophers should be.
