IntroductionJob description of a philosopher

A philosopher's job description mainly revolves around practicing philosophy. As there are certainly many ways to practice, it is not easy to describe briefly what may be a philosopher. However, the most general idea that we can get is probably that of a man or woman who thinks with his reason to the world and thought, to access the wisdom or understanding the meaning of life, hoping to be more happy or free is a philosopher. Often expected a philosopher is required to give people answers. It is unfamiliar with the wisdom to expect that all the questions are answered by definitive answers. It is generally accepted that the philosopher ought to ask questions and possibly give clues. Yet the history of western philosophy, through which philosophers are often termed systemic (because they have built systems "complete"), are just like other people:
