I have always equated philosophy with the study of opinions. If you say it it is an opinion; if you write it in a thick book, especially if you did it a long time ago, it is philosophy.
That's pretty much the way I see it. And if you parrot it in front of a classroom you're a philosophy teacher, and if you're a student and you say it you're a philosopher.
