Well as someone with a very low level interest in philosophy, I wasn't trying to get philosophical. Either way, 'sapient' seems like the clearer choice to go with, so I'll agree with Scrooge on this matter, from the wiki-based perspective.
How, though, would we house sapient individuals which don't come from sapient species. A possible framework could begin with Category:Sapient individuals (Nested within Category:Individuals), which can contain Category:Sapient individuals from typically non-sapient species as well as category pages for all individuals from sapient species. This seems like a lot of work to implement though, so any better ideas? (if this is even needed at all?)
