A philosophical language is an a priori conlang with a vocabulary based on a general taxonomy of ideas. Words are derived from more general words. For example, 'cat' would be a derivative of 'mammal' (perhaps with a few levels in between) which would be a derivative of 'animal', etc.
Philosophical languages were popular in the 17th century, but some were designed later - until the present day.
