Will philosophy survive at the university?
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Philosophy and philosophizing have become a problem today. Fashionable, postmodern emphasis on the "end" of various fields of culture has also affected philosophy. Although it is the oldest form of scientific inquiry, and despite the belief that philosophizing is part of human nature, philosophy is being contested, disregarded, and increasingly often pushed out from the university curriculum. Busy with the pragmatic and technical aspects of the world, human beings no longer see the need for philosophizing, or recognize the usefulness of philosophical knowledge. At universities – currently fields of a more-or-less overt struggle for space, influence, prestige, power, money, full-time jobs, and students – there is less and less space and time for philosophy classes. The future will show whether philosophy in universities will survive. Above all, the question is whether it will retain its original and fundamental function as the guardian of truth and the "love of wisdom" (philo-sophia). While we may not need to worry about the survival of philosophizing itself, we should worry about whether it will manage to retain its institutional presence at the university.
