About this listen

If I am going to claim to practice philosophy, and ostensibly occupy the position of philosopher and represent myself as such, I better be able to back that up by what I am saying. That's a pretty simple description of a basic responsibility of the philosopher, but it applies to anyone professing to be any identifiable figure and impactful member within society, that they must speak like that person they present themselves as: doctor, police officer, lawyer, veterinarian, history professor. Speaking with the integrity of one who has dedicated themselves to truly be ___, may just be at the core of any endeavour in this life—one must choose their words with much consideration of their intent, and of course the philosopher is compelled to ask how anyone can be certain of their intention, and their desire to be.
