What qualifications do "philosophers" need ?

Eorl,

I can't agree with that at all.

A true philosopher would have been much too contended to go strutting around in polished jackboots taking the adulations of a desperate crowd of losers.

spendius,

I reckon the existence of "mein kampf" demonstrates that the jack boots and iconoclasty were a means to achieving a philosophical end rather an end in themselves.

Just because your philosophy is rubbish doesn't mean you aren't a philosopher.

Chumly, a peon would never use the word peon, let alone call himself one...even a peon knows that! Nice word though, I like it.

Well I guess this debate is now about what constitutes pseudo-philosophy?

Isn't that essential to the question ray?

Just don't peon me or I'll spank you! I don't care if there is a 'golden' future for man or not Smile
