Wittgenstein was the last real philosopher. Philosophy is dead.
Physics = applied math + applied philosophy
Geometry is the birthplace of abstraction.
Depends on the kind of philosopher you want to be. If you want to be a classical polymath, you want to know literally anything that can be known, so you can construct the most abstract theory of everything. But you could also choose to be one of those marxist preachers of hatred, as they are usually represented in modern philosophy departments. Then you decided to be an anti-intellectual douchebag and explicitly reject science and math because they are products of the white patriarchy which you want to genocide. So which kind of philosopher are you?
Before you can contemplate the why, you must understand the how.
Or to put it another way,
You must check yourself
before you wreck yourself.
OP here
How we will learn geometry and physics well ? Is there any limit that we can say ".... level is enough for a philosopher" ?
Literally what is your goal as a "philosopher"?
To build an ideal human/state profile to achieve welfare.
So that they're capable of understanding statistics. Statistics is the only field of maths that every real philosopher should be fluent in.

All of Euclidean geometry.
All of Classical physics.
