I think I can answer my own question. From the KLINGONwiki (Peter Karas, TTM p. 96): Peter Karas: The idea of the term "philosophical people" is that they are not professional philosophers (like Plato and Socrates) but rather ordinary people expressing philosophical thoughts in a certain situation.
