philosophically
In reflective manner
Philosophically means in a manner relating to philosophy or deep thinking about fundamental questions: Philosophically, I agree with you, but practically it won't work.
It also describes accepting difficulty with calm resignation rather than complaint: She took the bad news philosophically.
The second sense suggests the composed detachment associated with philosophers.
