You could say that every philosophy defines itself by its realization?

Then there's Ambrose Bierce's succinct definition:
PHILOSOPHY, n.
A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.

Even better, thanks F. I quite like this, also from the Devil's Dictionary:
PERIPATETIC, adj.
Walking about. Relating to the philosophy of Aristotle, who, while expounding it, moved from place to place in order to avoid his pupil's objections. A needless precaution -- they knew no more of the matter than he.

"Damned if I do, and damned if I don't". That really does sound like typical philosophical bs.
