Ok. When I imagine a "trained philosopher," I see someone who has spent a lot of time on studying others ideas, proposing their own ideas and challenging/defending these ideas. Should I imagine what you imagine instead?


No, you don't have you. But for me, "training" is an activity that makes you good at a narrow and specialized work. "Education" makes you able to work within the boundaries of all knowledge in the area. But philosopher is got to break these boundaries so I don't have a word for that.
