Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'philosophical' (pertaining to philosophy) with 'theme' (a central idea); a B1 learner who knows both words would understand this refers to an idea or subject of a philosophical nature. The adjective+noun composition follows standard, transparent semantics and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so no idiomatic knowledge is required.
Etymology
Philosophical theme comes from combining philosophical, which means about deep thought, and theme, which once meant a 'tune' that comes back or the main idea in a story. So a philosophical theme is the main, repeating idea in a book, film, or talk about 'big questions' like reality or right and wrong.
