The best kind of person. A person that just thinks about things, which then enables other people to do things.
Carpenter: I built a house.
Doctor: I saved a woman's life.
Scientist: I've designed the missle defense system our country uses.
Dumbass: I only measure direct contributions, and I fail to understand that it is possible for something to indirectly benefit society. I'm the kind of person that thinks that rebounds and assists are useless in basketball.
Philosopher: I am interested in a discipline that has given birth to democracy and other political theories, the natural sciences, psychology, and more recently, cognitive science. Without the work conducted in philosophy, a monarch could destroy the house that a carpenter built without any compensation, and the knowledge necessary to save a person's life or to build a missile defense system would have not likely occurred.
I use logic to reach conclusions that are either necessary, contingent, or contradictory (impossible). Computers and robotics would be impossible without my contributions to propositional calculus, first-order logic, temporal logic, and modal logic.

Get the Coffee cup philosopher mug.Related Words
An individual unable to come up with an original thought that wants to say something profound, but doesn't even know what profound means!!! So they surf the web for famous philosophers to plagiarize in an attempt to sound more intelligent, illuminated, and enlightened. The only people impressed by this are their other illiterate, backwoods, toothless, hillbilly friends that think dental floss is used to sabiki bait fish.
Jill -Reading her facebook news feed wants to say something philosophical so she quotes Buddha by saying - "All that we are is the result of what we have thought"

Get the philosopher stoned mug.Person who is is knowledgeable but casual about philosophical or existential ideas.
