I'm not interested in complete definitions.
But I find it highly provocative to define philosophy as the purposeful ordering of the soul. This, Bloom tells me in Love and Friendship, is how Rousseau conceived of philosophy.
I reckon it has something to do with habit formation, with the cultivation of intuition, with the management of biases and heuristics.
Philosophy must do something for the heart as well as the mind.
An apparatus constructed on dry land
Submerged beneath the waters of my soul
Ordering and sorting the bubbles
So as to love more and hate less
So as to see more clearly into myself and others
