"Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)
If so, there is no 'insect' like the hyper-specialized analytic philosopher. (See here for quotation and context.)
The true philosopher is "a spectator of all time and existence," (Plato) and of everything sublunary and superlunary.
Panoptics and synoptics are the optics of the true philosopher. Spinoza the lens-grinder would agree.
