After you read Simon Critchley's article, "What is a philosopher?" please compose a two-page essay replying
to the following prompt:
Critchley distinguishes between the lawyer or pettifogger and the philosopher. The former rushes task to task,
racing against the clock; the latter takes all the time needed. Use an example or two of your own to make
sense of these two types. What does it mean on p. 11 to have a small soul? Can people with small souls do
anything to grow bigger?
