Filozof

Filozof je osoba koja se bavi filozofijom. Pojam potiče od starogrčke riječi φιλόσοφος, koja znači „ljubitelj mudrosti”. Pretpostavlja se da ga je Pitagora prvi upotrebio.^[1]

U klasičnom smislu, filozof je neko ko živi po određenom načinu života, fokusirajući se na rješavanje egsitencijalnih pitanja o ljudskom stanju, a ne neko ko govori o teorijama ili komentariše autore.^[2] Tipično, ovi konkretni tipovi filozofije su helenistički i oni koji se najpredanije posvjećuju ovom načinu života mogu se smatrati filozofima. Filozof je onaj koji osporava ono što se smatra zdravim razumom, ne zna prestati da postavlja pitanja i preispituje stare načine razmišljanja.^[3]

U savremenom smislu, filozof je intelektualac koji je doprinosi u jednoj ili više grana filozofije, kao što su estetika, etika, epistemologija, logika, metafizika, društvena teorija i politička filozofija. Filozof može biti i onaj koji je dao doprinos humanizmu ili drugim naukama koje su se odvojile od filozofije kroz vijekove, kao što su umjetnost, istorija, ekonomija, sociologija, psihologija, lingvistika, antropologija, teologija i politika.^[4]
