I'm not sure whether we should chalk this disciplinary conservatism up to an unintentional consequence or maybe an epiphenomenon (not entirely unwanted) of twin polarities of professionalizing pressures and popularizing efforts. (too many "p"s!)<br /><br />I see this line of inquiry as also spilling over into a discussion of the place of philosophical work vs academic philosophy vs intellectual work as such in our lives today -- I'm hoping that becomes a theme here!Tom Crosbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942888225118081569noreply@blogger.com
