I must say that I don't find that many strong visual representations of "Philosophy" and in combination with Greece you will even get less.
Please remember the theme is mainly something we need as starting point for creatives, it doesn't have to make much sense, it just should have some connection to oSC13 and the motto.
I also find it a bit dull to go for the most obvious thing. I must say, I'm not convinced.
I have to agree with Henne. If I had to think about artwork, and I do not claim to be an artist, and the motto to create artwork around is "Philosophy" then there are few things that come to mind that I can associate with the term. However, a word like "Play" creates a much richer word and concept association to have fun with when creating artwork.
Later,

Greece has a lot of iconic elements to its culture. It would not be hard to come up with something visual that can help further a particular theme or motto. Philosophy is a good one, what about "history," "knowledge"?
History would also be part of it, yes. The three things being "Philosophy, History and Change".
Robert, you are proposing to replace Philosophy with Play?
Not necessarily, it is associations I am after. "Play", in my mind and possibly other peoples associates with fun, you know, "Have a lot of fun!", while "Philosophy, History" rather remind me of dull school subjects I had to slug through in the distant path. Then again, I am not writing the text nor will I be creating any artwork and thus I should probably just stop adding mail to this thread.
