It's hard work for an analytical empiricist to demonstrate the potential for trueness without the custard pie utterances of idealists that sound so restful. Russell, essentially, answered the question what makes a good philosopher by suggesting the person had to be nice, humble, decent, curious, questioning, aware of limitations. If they were angry, or bitter or a power mad megalomaniacal creep, then not much chance of something worthwhile emerging.
