We have to justify our lives, philosophically. Make something of this. So it isn’t just chaos and blind chance. Or rather, making something out of chaos and blind chance.
A philosophical school … A movement. A cadre.
No, not that … God … Not even that.
Not-even philosophy: that’s an idea. That could be the name of our school. Of our non-school.
Could it?
We’ve a chance to become something. Great maybe. Wouldn’t you like to become great? To have books written about you? To have books written about us – about our not-even-philosophy …
And this wouldn’t just be some provincial philosophy department. It would be another continental philosophy department. We’d be known for something. People would come from all over the world to study here.
Look, the point about not-even-philosophy is that it’s not even philosophy. No one would be coming to study anything.
