Quote by Henry David Thoreau

There are now a days professors of philosophy but not philosophers.


There are now a days professors of philosophy but not philos

Summary

This quote suggests that while there may be individuals who hold the title of a professor of philosophy, it does not guarantee that they possess the qualities or mindset of a true philosopher. In today's academic setting, the emphasis may be more on teaching and academic credentials rather than a deeper engagement with philosophical inquiry and contemplation. This quote highlights the distinction between the role or profession one holds and the inherent pursuit of wisdom and philosophical thinking that defines a philosopher.
