A progress, citizenship, expertise, virtue, ability, social role, power, rather than skill, can allow for some contributions. But view, argue, uniquely captures breadth philosophers’ change; promises make us more effective practice; offers compelling way overcome own lingering denial all aspects philosophical activity.
