armchair philosopher

Person who is is knowledgeable but casual about philosophical or existential ideas. Unlike an academic philosopher, an armchair philosopher deals with subjective experiences, opinions, and personal issues. They refer to theories and ideas but do not emphasize or prioritize them; they use big ideas to discuss real time questions.

I had a great conversation with Lydia about my commitment issues, she helped me see my problem in a new light. I guess she is an armchair philosopher.
