How to be a Philosopher

By Hugh Hunter

What does it take to become a philosopher? In this short book Dr. Hugh Hunter uses techniques from his teaching career to give an answer. Starting with simple and relatable examples from traditional Western philosophy, he explains what being a philosopher means, how to situate a problem in philosophy, and how to think, read, write and find community as a philosopher. The techniques in this book are easy to learn. Mastering them is the work of a lifetime.Studying philosophy at university won't necessarily teach you how to become a philosopher. This short guide will tell you how to interact with the university system as a philosopher whether you are a part of it or not. Self-teachers, homeschoolers, and those charting their own philosophical course will all find something of value here.
