Added additional information about kedos in response to comment feedback
Nov 13, 2015 at 23:42 comment added fdb Etymology does not define the meaning of a word in a particular language.
Nov 13, 2015 at 23:40 comment added Nonnal @fdb "Kedos" appears to have several meanings; this link indicates that it means (or meant) "care, trouble, sorrow" and is etymologically related to "hate." In any event, thank you for your feedback. While your tone is inappropriate, I will update my answer to make it better.
Nov 13, 2015 at 23:31 comment added fdb The Greek word κῆδος (kēdos) does not mean “hate”, it means “caring, concern with, mourning”. This is a terrible answer.
Nov 13, 2015 at 17:43 comment added socratics Thank you for the indepth analysis... And the tags! Cheers...
Nov 13, 2015 at 17:41 comment added socratics I don't think -phobia- is a good fit for the same reasons you do... it is not necessarily fear... I considered sophistry, but it is an ambiguous defining term due to the complexity of the school of thought... Perhaps, once again I am reaching, and sophistry is in fact the proper term, but it just doesn't seem to fit seamlessly to the intended expression...

Nov 13, 2015 at 17:38 comment added socratics I agree completely with your initial analysis of my comment, and should have been more explicit... To hate/loathe/apathy towards wisdom was my initial intention... Although linguistically it is interesting that there could also be a formation to define hate/loathe/apathy towards the love of wisdom, which is a completely different path... The former being sentiments/reaction to the object that is loved (wisdom), and the latter being sentiments/reactions (hate/loathe/apathy) to the converse sentiments/reactions of the object (love)... Of course, maybe I am just reaching here...
