*******************
Package biblatex Info: Trying to load bibliography style
'philosophy-standard'.
..
Package biblatex Info: ... file 'philosophy-standard.bbx' found.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
