A philosopher, in a wide sense, is someone who studies philosophy. The term "philosopher" comes from the Ancient Greek φιλόσοφος (philosophos), which means "lover of wisdom". The introduction of the terms "philosopher" and "philosophy" has been ascribed to the Greek thinker Pythagoras.
A philosopher, in the more narrow and common usage, is any intellectual who has made contributions in one or more current fields of philosophy, such as aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, social theory, and political philosophy. A philosopher may also be one who worked in the humanities or other sciences which have since split from philosophy proper over the centuries, such as the arts, history, economics, sociology, psychology, linguistics, anthropology, theology, and politics. They may relate this knowledge to the discussion of philosophical problems.
In the classical sense, a philosopher is someone who lives according to a way of life, whose focus is upon resolving existential questions about the human condition, and not someone who discourses upon theories or comments upon authors. Typically, these particular brands of philosophy are Hellenistic ones and those who most arduously commit themselves to this lifestyle may be considered philosophers.
Daniel Clement Dennett III (born March 28, 1942) is an American philosopher, writer, and cognitive scientist whose research centers on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields related to evolutionary biology and cognitive science.
He is currently the co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies, the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy, and a University Professor at Tufts University. Dennett is an atheist and secularist, a member of the Secular Coalition for America advisory board, as well as an outspoken supporter of the Brights movement. Dennett is referred to as one of the "Four Horsemen of New Atheism", along with Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens.
Dennett was born on March 28, 1942 in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Ruth Marjorie (née Leck) and Daniel Clement Dennett, Jr. Dennett spent part of his childhood in Lebanon, where, during World War II, his father was a covert counter-intelligence agent with the Office of Strategic Services posing as a cultural attaché to the American Embassy in Beirut. When he was five, his mother took him back to Massachusetts after his father died in an unexplained plane crash. Dennett says that he was first introduced to the notion of philosophy while attending summer camp at age 11, when a camp counselor said to him, "You know what you are, Daniel? You're a philosopher."

Big Thinkers is a former ZDTV (later TechTV) television program. It featured a half-hour interview with a "big thinker" in science, technology, and other fields. Interviews were filmed in a 16:9 format and intercut with public domain material from the Prelinger Archives. This archival footage (mostly film clips from the 1940's and 50's) was used to create visual metaphors highlighting the speaker's points. This episode features Daniel Dennett.

The Philosophers- magyarul
I'm sitting here along the west side
I think of all the ways that I could fuck with you right now
But when I wrap my head around you
You couldn't be more trouble I don't need to lift a finger
Jump in a hole
I dig it for you
You're in a hole
I dig it for you
You live inside the space between life
Your crazy world is so small when you think about it
You can take your shit out on me
Look in the mirror then you see what I see
Jump in the hole
I dig it for you
Jump in the hole
I'll tell you my philosophy
Is new reality
I have gone to hell and back
We suffered through enough
Don't tell me your religion
The price to pay is freedom
I have gone to hell and back
Your ship was always sinking
You like to have your way to know it
What does love got to do when you think about it
Say it's time to stop pretending
Things they come and they go that's the way it is
You like you living
It's just beginning
I'm not the one to blame
I'm not the one
Jump in your hole
I dig it you for you
Jump in the hole
I dig it for you
I'll tell you my philosophy
Is new reality
I have gone to hell and back
We suffered through enough
Don't tell me your religion
The price to pay is freedom
I have gone to hell and back
Your ship was always sinking
You scream it out from the mountaintops
You throw us all under for what
Your action, they speak louder than words
Was it enough to drag us all down into your world
Jump in your hole
I dig it for you
Jump in the hole
I dig it for you
I'll tell you my philosophy
Is new reality
I have gone to hell and back
We suffered through enough
Don't tell me your religion
The price to pay is freedom
I have gone to hell and back
