What is the relation of education to philosophy?

I'm not sure precisely what the question is asking, so I will do my best to answer it as it stands.

It is natural for education to be considered a requirement for philosophers. After all, philo- means "love of or friend of" and -sophia means "wisdom". I like to think of philosophy as meaning befriending wisdom -- as if one cherishes wisdom like he or she does a close friend. This captures the process involved with becoming wise and learning about the nature of things in a way that goes beyond science and other areas of study. However, everyone is a philosopher in one way or another. If do or don't believe in religion, that is your philosophy. If you believe that the world is a certain way, that is a philosophy. The best way to build a philosophy is by asking questions. The answers aren't necessarily what are important; rather, if one is able to think on a higher level by asking different questions, he or she has already achieved what is intended.

That being said, there is, of course, a method to academic philosophy. For instance, there are applications such as bio-ethics, mathematical logic, and Philosophy of Psychology. These likely do require education, but one can learn about them using books and the like, regardless.
