Well, thank you, but technically, I am not a philosopher yet, if that's possible at all...
A Philosophical Question!
What is a Philosopher?
Philosophy itself originated in an attempt to understand the How and the Why of all Existence.
From my pov, that is what Philosophy is. Philosophy is the search for the answers to how and why we and everything else exists.
The Greeks called it "The Love of Wisdom."
They wisely chose Wisdom over Knowledge. Any mind can acquire knowledge by simply accumulating ‘data.' It is Wisdom that requires the mind to ascertain the pertinence of that knowledge.
Any discipline we use attaining the answers to "Life, the Universe, and Everything" are all tools of Philosophy, and thus are themselves Philosophy, whether it be the Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Religion, or Metaphysical Philosophy. They all fall under the umbrella of Philosophy and are used to distinguish between what is truth, and what is illusion.
Thus anyone who ponders on the How and Why of Existence is by default a Philosopher.
Philosophers are born not made!
You cannot study to become a philosopher. You can study to become a more knowledgeable philosopher, or you can study to become a Philosophy Professor.
"We have an abundance of philosophy professors but no philosophers." Thoreau
