Self-taught philosopher edit
Thank you for your post at the Humanities Reference Desk. Unfortunately, I have had to remove it, as your question merely asks for opinions, and the Desks explicitly prohibiy those types of questions.
My opinion, since you've asked for opinions, would be "yes, but it makes you sound awfully pompous and pretentious". Go ahead and call yourself a philosopher if you like, the origins of your learning are irrelevant. If you fit the description of a philosopher at our article philosopher, your description of yourself would be justifiable. If not, then you'd be just another one of millions of people who describe themselves inaccurately. --Dweller (talk) 11:50, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Your basic question was adequately discussed several weeks ago; it was not of too great interest in the first place, and is not at all interesting now to those who saw the previous discussion. AnonMoos (talk) 15:08, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
