It's used that way but

[edit]

It's a confusion with its hyponym hominocracy. hypernym: person (criteria: intellect and sometimes empathy) > hyponym: human (criteria: same as person with the addition of the biological criterion) Sometimes specifics are important. Great philosophers aren't necessarily great semantic labelers (semantocladologists). When you write a big essay, wise semantic labeling is important in order not to merge meanings under the same noun.

If it's "used that way", then that's what we document. Real usage, not ideals. Equinox 07:32, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sense 2: "(philosophy) Belief that personhood and at least one person (bearer of it) are the most important factors within some or all concepts". It seems that this could use rephrasing too. Equinox 07:34, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Same (Greek IP) creator as hominocracy, above. I don't think they really thought anything through before making this up, so it may not mean anything that makes sense. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:33, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
