1. Philosophy / A. Wisdom / 2. Wise People

18495	The best philosophers I know are the best people I know [Heil]
	Full Idea: Philosophers are not invariably the best people, but the best philosophers I know are the best people I know.
	From: John Heil (The Universe as We Find It [2012], Pref)
	A reaction: How very nicely expressed. I have often thought the same about lovers of literature, but been horribly disappointed by some of them. On the whole I have found philosophy-lovers to be slightly superior to literature-lovers!
