Philosopher rules

Those are the stages in the path (at least, in my path)
Stage 1 to be a good philosopher: Turn down any thinking rule or restraint.
Stage 2 to be a good philosopher: Express your ideas. Language is the mean and the media of philosophy.
Stage 3 to be a good philosopher: Set up your meta-philosophy: why do you think, how do you think, what's the aim of thinking... The answers don't have to be philosophical, neither rational nor logic... remember is meta-philosophy.
Stage 4 to be a good philosopher: Assess your philosophy... does it attain its goals? Does it produce the intended outcomes? Does it work as you have foreseen?
Stage 5 to be a good philosopher: Set up a well-formed philosophical system, namely, with a defined set of signs, grammar rules for well-formed sentences (or formulae), defined universe of application and semantic rules of reference and validation.

Philosophy

Nothing less interesting than the love for philosophy. That subjective anxiety, almost innate and instinctive and lack of objective and justification (beyond mere onanista self-satisfaction) does not give philosophy any practical and objective value.

What is philosophy? 

Philosophy is a method of knowledge.  
It is mental activity (process) and attitude in pursuit of truth and wisdom.Rational praxis of a subject faced with a reality. 
Dialogue, interaction of a cognitive subject faced with a reality that is a source of satisfaction of needs and generating challenges that must overcome. Is a tool.

Philosophy is the science of thought. 
The universe of application are the set of ideas that conform "reality". The operating tool is mind. 
Its validity is based on its results, in the success in reaching its objectives, in obtaining its purposes.Philosophy is not characterized by its object or the issues it faces (existence, knowledge, truth, morality, beauty, soul, language, science ....) but by the method, which uses the rational, theoretical and abstract analysis of the objects of study.

Philosophy is an art, the art of thinking, that is, an action and a process of knowing. This implies, therefore, an attitude, a will and a purpose.
