Maverick Philosopher reads Kant, draws conclusion.

I don't always agree with Bill Vallicella, but sometimes he is exactly right. In dredging up a line from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason – "Philosophy...cannot be learned; we can at most learn to philosophize" – the Maverick Philosopher succeeded in condemning academic philosophy as an exercise in futility and trumpeting the virtue of publishing one's thoughts online, even if they aren't worthy of the printed page:

Philosophy is not something we profess, except perhaps secondarily; it is something we do. The best professors of philosophy are doers of philosophy. A professor, obviously, need not be a paid professor, an academic functionary.
