I hope I got that term correct.  A philosopher's role in your fortress would depend on exactly who he is.  Think of any real world philosopher and how they behaved and what they taught, if they taught at all.  A philosopher's philosophies could be a procedurely generated mix of these.  His resulting behavior could make him popular, unpopular, be ignored, so on and so forth.

Urist McKant raves about how knowledge derived from observation cannot be trusted.

Urist McRealist decides to use Urist McKant to test whether magma is really hot.

Empedocles died pretty dwarfily. Philosophers would be hilarious if they had quirks that make most dwarves look normal.

Those old philosophers had a thing for volcanos, apparently.  Pliny the Elder was more of a natural philosopher, and when Vesuvius started smoking he actually travelled to Pompeii to check it out while everyone else was running away.  Got a bit TOO close though....

Silly Romans, the Philosopher is the one noble you DONT need to toss in the magma.  Nero would have been a better choice.
