A (philosophical) argument can be made that the inability of Lojban to translate philosophy is a positive sign that it is a truly logical language, well suited for the real world. But, since it is possible to say nonsense in Lojban, I suspect that philosophy will not be a problem (the hardship of vocabulary creation aside -- and maybe the necessity of figuring out what these guys are really saying, if anything).

Most probably a fiction/novel will have more people interested in, but
translating philosophy (as well as poetry) is a kind of corner stone :
if this IS POSSIBLE for Lojban, then anything will be possible.

On the contrary, if Lojban does allow us to translate recipies, and
novels or fictions, but *neither* philosophy *nor* poetry, then...
