        Quite true; that is the reason I attempt to be very careful
to read "professional" philosophers just as I read and listen to all
other thinkers - with as much criticism as I can bring to bear.  As
you well know, my first introduction and still my guide in the world
of critical thought is Eric Voegelin who was not a "professional"
philosopher but a "professional" political scientist.  The myriad of
his students (a growing body) are thankful that he was not impressed
by academic titles - even his own!
