My definition of vague music: Aaron Copland

Composers follow concepts and principles; theorists find and follow rules alone by themselves.

Composers follow more concepts and principles than rules; rules are followed principaly by theorists who neglect the philosophical way to decompose a piece in concepts and principles, without breaking its soul.

Oftentimes those who you call  « undisciplined «  are being disciplined according to their own principles, or other people. Discipline , as the faculty to follow rules through, is not an absolute value, it’s just a value..

It’s not about treating her like a princess or not; 
it’s about being first a king, for this story get some sense.

When we say we create the reality we are not using the language in the same sense as when we say that the reality is absolute in itself.

Philosophy, as the foundation of science,  does not require scientific experiments;
but in order to be a philosopher it will be scientifically  necessary 
that you become your own lifetime experiment.

Analysis

Analysis without conclusion are quite the norm nowadays at the university.

So people constantly miss the point of achieving meaning, or achieving the experience of meaningfulness. That happens dues to an absence of appropriate philosophical education, because only the philosophers would teach how and inspire you to take conclusions. Only they taught how to take conclusions out of an empirical data. No scientist did something great without considering deep philosophical questions on logic and theory of knowledge. Those teachings were mostly done by example: not every philosopher shows a logical structure behind his thought; but even so, those exceptions are made by philosophers who inspire us building strong concepts out o things we already thought to notice and be aware of everyday. Most precisely, in my opinion, Hegel and Aristotle would be enough for the task: Aristotle has principles that are reasonable for every beginner, no matter the field he deals with; and Hegel would teach you how to think things that are in motion and its contradictory complexity. He teaches you the inner life of our concepts by showing it. 

Problematic is that frequently when these thinkers are taught, the teacher doesn't believe truly in them.

I learned that it takes a lot of blood for you to integrate a philosopher on your intellectual life. But I don't mean simply "discipline" by that: I mean intellectual passion, straight and courage. Because sometimes it can lead you even to apparently useless or very unwanted existential moments, before you realise that there was already something right about "common sense".

Above all, its a matter of style and taking seriously the following  posture: " I do analysis in order to answer mostly precise questions, and I analyse the status and relevance of my questions, I will never analyse to please or earn a highly questionable social status".
