The Trouble with Philosophy

[monk222]

“I think so badly of philosophy that I don’t like to talk about it. … I do not want to say anything bad about my dear colleagues, but the profession of teacher of philosophy is a ridiculous one. We don’t need a thousand of trained, and badly trained, philosophers — it is very silly. Actually most of them have nothing to say.”

-- Karl Popper

Does he think philosophy should be a strictly amateur affair, done for love and driven by inspiration?
