| Title | Misery of The Contemporary Academic Philosophy |
| Summary | ABSTRACT This thesis deals with the topic of misery of the contemporary academic philosophy. It establishes that both the contemporary academic philosophy and philosophers who are part of it are miserable. It does that by showing that academic philosophy involves a high level of stress, a lot of technical jargon and expertism, and that it is irrelevant for the societies that value freedom. Finally, it shows that philosophy cannot achieve results set by its own standards. Given the ordinary use of the word “misery”, this is supposed to establish the conclusion that philosophy is miserable. In the end, other possibilities for the academic philosophy are explored. |
