... I can do one better than that. Take a look at this philosophy of language 
syllabus:

http://aardvark.ucsd.edu/language/language_syllabus.html
 
Proof positive that: (a) segments of the social club are lost; and (b) many 
"philosophers" -- particularly of the analytic kind -- do not have an aptitude 
for either doing or understanding what "philosophy" actually is. No wonder the 
social club has become so irrelevant to so many segments of culture and 
intellectual life -- save, of course, the works of people like Ray Monk, who 
understand that philosophy at its core is the ability to be insightful.  

Regards and thanks.
