A combination of relevant degrees and third party perspective. You studied philosophy, engage and assert some original thought, and peers agree that you are a philosopher.

You become established in your field and then publish new/radical/revolutionary ideas that people actually take seriously.
The key element is actually being intelligent and adhering to logical principals otherwise any crackpot could be considered a "philosopher".
