We’re the only philosophy unit in the region. For miles. Nothing at Northumbria. They closed down the department at Sunderland. Of course they did!
Nothing at Teeside. There’s Durham, of course. Yes, Durham! We’re all envious of Durham! But we’re carrying the philosophical torch for the city. We’re its sole bearers in Newcastle. A great responsibility!
We’re bearers of civilisation. We’re keeping the flame – the philosophical flame. And the European philosophy flame to boot. There are barely any European philosophy departments left anywhere.
