Do you discuss your own philosophy about life to others or yourself, and if you do, is it your philosophy and not the thoughts and words of another philosopher.

I have a degree in Philosophy and am an accountant. Two sides of studies. I am 63. I have a philosophy about life and spout it to whomever will listen. But it is not anyone else's philosophy. It is probably a mishmash of many people's ideas changed by my own experience. I had trouble when I was 20 to accept someone else's ideas and it is impossible at 63.

My philosophy is both practical and theoretic. I discuss it and question it freely and frequently. It is based on the philosophies of many others from the pre-Socratics on and even before in other traditions. I don't parrot any one philosopher, but am firmly in the tradition of Martin Heidegger.
[edit: I'm in the same boat and generation as ustoev above, except I went on with my degrees as a priest rather than an accountant. Philosophy is only valid if it is questioned and practised. As to owning it and originality, that is expressed in the two letters of the very first word of my answer.]

My philosophy is a way of life for poor is a philosopher who teaches one thing and does an opposing other. So there is no need for words or thoughts to be discussed since deeds speak louder than words.

I guess I'm someone who discusses his own philosophy to others. That philosophy is a combination of the philosophies and words and thoughts of hundreds of other thinkers that have come before me. And also there is a little bit of my own that I have boiled down from existing for these past 27 years.

I'm an adaptable philosopher. As life shows me new things, or the same things again, I learn and adapt my philosophy to the changes or lack of changes. I'm not afraid to love and I'm not afraid to hate, but it's got to be real for a real reason. I'll listen to another's opinion, but mine is the most valid. People don't always tell the truth!

For over thirty years to date, I have been a Jesusonian Theologian and progressive Evangelist with some interest in Theo-ontology development, both from continuing Epochal Revelation and my reflective elucidations of ongoing personal God-conscious experiences.
This Epochal Revelation is a gift to all in this world to uplift and clarify religion and philosophy and science -- supreme values and intellectual meanings and scientific facts -- and to accomplish much more.
Peace and progress,

I'm a practical philosopher. My philosophy is a mixture of mine and other's thoughts.

A political philosopher, In a nut shell I believe in the premise of John Rawls assumptions in the original position however I disagree with his process of providing equal opportunity. My solution has a bit of a.. libertarian twist to it.
So I guess I'm somewhat of a egalitarian liberal with an emphasis on classical liberal/libertarian economic strategy.

My philosophy: I believe in an organic Universe of which we are a part. I believe our function is to be kind, to acquire knowledge, and to act as stewards of The Earth.
