[lojban] Specific terminology - the case of philosophy terminology

[Escape Landsome <escaaape@gmail.com>]

I want to translate some philosophical works into Lojban

but here comes the problem of terminology

Many philosophical terms come in fact from vernacular usage, but are
given in the meantime a new meaning...

For instance, "liberté" (liberty ? freedom ?) has not quite the same
sense that the vernacular use of the word has

"retrait" is a common word that means the fact one retracts from
something, but it is more the "epokhè" meaning

"accident", "forme" (form), "substance", "catégorie" are in the same trouble

In fact, either a philosophical term comes form a greek or latin
etymology and the translation should convey the component meaning of
its core and affixes
either it is some very common term that has been "dignified" to a
brand new philosophical meaning

So, I warn you, I don't know what termes already exist in Lojban, for
philosophic purpose... (and I regret there doesn't seem to exist a
page which lists such terms, by themas or something)

But, admitting there are few (correct me if I'm wrong), how to create them ?
