Are you really interested in philosophy?

Asked by incendiary_dan (13401points) February 6th, 2011

I notice that one of the topics I see the most often when checking out peoples’ profiles is philosophy. However, in life I’ve observed that most people who think of themselves as philosophers and refer to themselves as such don’t actually know what philosophy is. More often than not, it’s just people prattling on and making superficial and/or pseudo-insightful statements laden with tired cliches, stereotypes, and vague platitudes.

So what do you say? By the definitions and explanations in the Wikipedia link above, are you actually interested in philosophy?
