Crypto Department

So there we were, Cicero’s secret enclave. Cicero’s pocket of resistance. Cicero’s foxhole, of sorts. A new European philosophy department, at a time when they were closing European philosophy departments.

But it was a crypto-philosophy department. A hidden philosophy department. A philosophy department that dare not speak its name.

 

The last philosophy department, in its way. A posthumous philosophy department. A philosophy department after the death of the original philosophy department. That no one expected to rise from its grave. To come back into appearance.
