Okay, I know that you asked how to do this--but I am going to recommend that you not do it.

It is too discrete--you will have lots of forums with only a few messages in each, and people will post questions in (what youi or your members think is) the wrong section, and you'll end up moving stuff all over the place. How does one separate life from work from philosphy?

The "Philosophers" category also seems unneccessary since (if I am understanding properly) all of your public sections are about philosophers.

I would suggest that you structure your forum like this:

My Forum Home
-Aristotle
-Hume
-Pascal
-Locke
-Rousseau
