I do tend to think philosophically about what others might consider mundane things as well as more cosmic concepts, so I would say I have philosophical tendencies, but I think in order to be a philosopher, you have to write something truly radical and which enriches our knowledge of the human condition and/or other truths. I haven't done that yet, and I will go so far as to presume that neither has anyone else who answers this question ...

I think philosopher is the one who uses the reasoning to evaluate arguments concerning questions such as whether God exists, what is the nature of reality, whether knowledge is possible, and what makes actions right or wrong. Since i do that with certain limitations, i would call myself philosophy user rather than a complete philosopher.

Yes. I believe for anyone to really become something they must ask and attempt to answer key questions that have plagued mankind's history. However, I do not think just asking questions and trying to be profound is a true philosopher. So many today seem to be lazy in their questioning of everything. They do not seek answers but merely ask. Real philosophy should be a lifelong search for true enlightenment on all varieties of subjects.

Since philosophy means the love of truth (from the two ancient Greek words, philos & sophos), then yes, I'm a philosopher for I do love the truth (It's just so darn difficult to find it.)

Philosopher comes from the Greek word "philosofos" which means "philos sofias" philosophy friend. In that sense I think most of us are.

Maybe, that's for you to decide. Philosophy is only as good as those who understand it, and keeping with that theme Dr. Seuss said: "Only you can make your mind up. You're the one and only one." So if I am a philosopher, I'll never know it.
