Cross the Floor

We should advise our PhD students to switch studies. Organisational Management – that’s what they should be doing. An Organisational Management PhD, if that isn’t a contradiction in terms.

Think pragmatically, PhD students! Logistically! Swallow your pride! Save yourselves! Cross the floor!

Organisational Management’s where it’s at, PhD students. Organisational Management’s the future – it’s year zero. Begin again.

They’ll be glad to have you, probably, PhD students. New blood! New humanities blood! They’ll be pleased to see what they can do with you. How they can bring you on board. You’ll be test cases. You’ll be the measure of what’s possible and what’s not.

Our PhD students shaking their heads. No! Never!

Listen to them! Our Kinder! The Kinder of philosophy.

With half of the European Philosophy departments closed or closing! With no prospect of European Philosophy careers, not anymore!

Heidegger would have been proud. Cassirer! Mach!

Save the philosophy Kinder! Our PhD sons and daughters and non binary types!
