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.
