Non-Academic Philosophers

[Culain]

I remember Stefan pointing out in one of his pod-casts about how there are many famous Philosophers who did not go through Academia.

 

Anybody willing to compile a list of some of these Philosophers?

I would be interested in this subject as well.

 

The value of academia shouldn't be underestimated but in the end, especially now in the days of Internet, nothing is stopping you doing what you can do in a university I think. What comes to philosophy that is.
