A philosopher is someone who composes his or her own papers on various philosophic issues.
The main aim of the philosophers that work in postsecondary institutions is to teach the students on the logic and writings of a wide range of famous philosophers.
Most of the philosophers devote their lives to understanding and, later on, expanding the existing philosophical publications and ideas.
The typical responsibilities of a philosopher working in post-secondary institutions usually include teaching at least one class of students; creating lesson plans; participating in university committees; evaluating the students’ understanding of the material by assigning and grading papers; publishing dissertations and papers, and so on.
