I believe the answer is:

greece

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'came from this country' is the definition.
'greece' can be an answer for 'country' (Greece is an example). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'some agree certain philosophers' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'GREECE' is hidden within 'agree certain philosophers'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for greece that I've seen before include "Modern-day classical Hellas" , "Hellenic state" , "European nation" , "in E" , ""The cradle of civilisation"" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
