Do Philosophers Love Wisdom?
The Philosophers' Magazine 22 (2):22-24 (2003)
| Abstract | There is an urgent need to bring about a revolution in the overall aims and methods of academic inquiry, its whole character and structure, so that it takes up its proper task of promoting wisdom rather than just acquiring knowledge. Academia as at present constituted has built into its institutions a momumental and very damaging philosophical blunder - one that most professional philosophers are blind to. This is little short of an intellectual scandal. It is time philosophers woke up to their intellectual and humanitarian responsibilities. | |||||||||
