Well to me, philosophy is a social activity. It's always been since the days of Ancient Greece with the Stoas, the Lyceum and the Academy up till now with a group of friends discussing what they value most in life. It's not just about arguing and agreeing on what our philosophies are in a logically coherent manner (which clearly is part of the nature if the discipline) . It's a fundamental human interaction that deepens relationships and builds bridges where there were none. The practical and mundane human aspect of philosophy matters just as much as the abstract and more universal aspect and in the practical aspect, we as animals have needs that we need met and one of those needs is in person socialization. I can express philosophical views just about anywhere, but if I can't do it with a person and see their mannerisms and reactions to what I'm saying (whether that be approval, indifference or disapproval), it's kinda pointless to me since I truly can't know more about the person I'm talking to unless I see their face and get a glimpse into their mind. Maybe that's why you and I don't quite see eye to eye on this matter. The way we think about philosophy is diametrically opposed.
