• W2771103496 abstract "Socrates Reborn?: Philosophy, after the Disciplines Review of R. Frodeman and A. Briggle, Socrates Tenured: The Institutions of 21st-Century Philosophy, London and New York, Rowman & Littlefield, 2016.Socrates Tenured: The Institutions of 21st-Century Philosophy by Robert Frodeman and Adam Briggle is a deeply important and deeply contentious work, in the best sense of the word. The book's thesis is as clear as its authors' punchy style. The predominant mode of philosophy in Western academia is professional, disciplinary (or 'Mode 1') philosophy. But this way of philosophy is not the only one possible. Nor does it have a particularly promising future in the twenty-first century - even among other, similarly imperilled non-vocational disciplines. Western philosophical history, looking back to the titular Socrates, provides many competing, pre-disciplinary models of philosophical activity, let alone other traditions. Socrates, the authors observe, would not get a job in today's competitive job market.1 His name is now only honoured in the breach, and in kinds of academic writing he would not have sponsored or recognised. His practice of dialogue, coupled with a principled scepticism about long speeches, and writing itself, would see him branded an imposter or an amateur. He would flounder or rage at conference events.Frodeman and Briggle's ongoing work and book hope to introduce a further persona or 'philosopher of the future' into the list of Western possibilities. This is the ('Mode 2') 'field philosopher', less a pre-disciplinary than a post-disciplinary figure.2 The field philosopher will regenerate for coming times Socrates' sense of philosophy as an erotic, engaged and practical calling. S/he will answer what the authors decry as the 'purification' and insulation of academic philosophy, by acquiring newly 'dirty hands' in the twenty-first century's global agora.3IAs Frodeman and Briggle reflect, today's disciplinary philosopher is a career professional in a highly competitive marketplace. Increasingly pressed for time, he (and mostly, it is 'he') competes on an ongoing basis for increasingly scarce economic and social capital. His main products are 6-12,000-word articles, and less often monographs and book chapters. Book reviews of 1-2000 words are an increasingly poor cousin, honoured neither in metrics, nor on employment or promotion committees. Our philosopher occupies, most probably, a separate office. He is usually housed in a corridor with other professional philosophers.4 His mode of work is mostly isolated: reading books and journals, in print and increasingly online. If he is lucky enough, he has tenure. More often, he goes from term to term and contract to contract, part of a growing informal academic workforce charged with teaching undergraduate offerings in unprecedented numbers in the United States and elsewhere.5Generally speaking, the Mode 1 philosopher does little cooperative research. Sometimes, cooperative work is actively frowned upon by the managers who will assess his 'productivity' and decide his professional fate.6 He usually does not write for non- academic audiences. This remains true even when his research addresses ethical, bioethical, environmental, social or political matters of wider social relevance.7 His work is evaluated and read, when it is read,8 by other professional philosophers in peerreviewed journals. These journals, in turn, are mostly owned by private companies (Sage, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Springer, and so on) whose 'open access' platforms mean that academic material is increasingly only available to academics, students and alumni of universities.Bibliometrics, presently being introduced by other governments following the lead of the United Kingdom, and tied to the fastgrowing global university rankings, present escalating, increasingly intrusive attempts to monitor the 'impact' of our philosopher's work. But they also take for granted the 'black box', peer-evaluating-peer model. …" @default.
