[MD] Creativity and Philosophology, 2 (from 2005)

[Matt Kundert]

Pirsig in the Baggini interview:
No, it isn't neat, since most philosophologists also philosophize 
and most philosophers also philosophologise.

Matt:
Oh, yeah, I remember reading that now.  Thanks John.

But, that still doesn't really clear up _my_ problem.  I still 
don't really know who I'm supposed to call philosophologists, 
even if they do just do history of philosophy.  I mean, from 
the addition of the quote, that seems to suggest that _all_ 
Pirsig means is "intellectual history," right?

So--why can't I say intellectual historians who philosophize 
and philosophers who do intellectual history?  Why do I 
need a new word?  Is it just to make fun of people?

Matt
