They’ll want us to teach Organisational Management ethics, you realise that, don’t you? That’s the only way they can conceive philosophy: as ethics. They have no idea about the other branches of philosophy. Of aesthetics! Of metaphysics! Of ontology! Of logic!
They have no idea about the history of philosophy! Of course not! Or our specialisms. Our so-called research interests. Which do not include anything to do with Organisational Management. Which are notable for their lack of relevance to Organisational Management. What’s clear: that we are not and cannot be, by any stretch of the imagination, Organisational Managers. What’s clear: Philosophy is, like, a war-machine against Organisational Management.
And they’re much bigger than we are, that’s the thing. They have the numbers. And we have … very little.
Yeah, but we’ve got attitude! Rebelliousness! Avant-gardism!
They scoff at our attitude! Come on! This whole thing is a pacification technique. It’s a neutralisation move. They’re clamping down on thought, right? They’re closing down the possibility of thought.
