Where do failures lie in autodidact-ism for philosophy?
gpt
From what I've seen:

1. Lack of dedication \(works for a while but people give up\);
2. No secondary sources \(people generally stay within the classics\);
3. Misinterpretation \(sometimes philosophers write within a certain context that you are not aware unless you know the surrounding literature and such, which professors generally point out to you when you start\);
4. Specializing too early \(autodidacts generally focus on a specific area, but in philosophy there's something to learn even when you study something else that you might not enjoy so much\);
5. No writting \(writting forces you to re\-evaluate your points of view and arguments and strengthen them\).
