The campus is a place for everything good, anyway. Everything kind.
Even for philosophy?
Will philosophy behave?
Philosophy never behaves.
How pompous! Sure it behaves. If we find the levers.
There are no levers – not in European thought. European thought broke the levers.
Philosophy doesn’t play well with others: that’s clear.
Philosophy can be useful. Philosophy can lend a hand, I’m sure.
What, pit its shoulder to the Organisational Management wheel? Provide off-the-shelf ideas … Ready to use …
Management studies is very open. We’re looking or ideas. Contribute. Share something. You don’t want only to have conversations with other philosophers, do you? You want to reach a wider audience, right?
There’s this great monograph series: philosophy in Organisational Management. Where you can introduce ideas, contextualise them, for a Business Studies audience. Show them how they can be useful. You’d be surprised. There’s a real appetite for that kind of thing. You can be part of the Organisational Management conversation. And it’s self-interest, really – it’s a way there’s a still a place for you at the university. But I suppose philosophy is too good for self-interest.
Yuck.
Come on, play ball. Join the marketplace of ideas. Don’t be so high and mighty.
There’ll be the Organisational Management arts. The Organisational Management humanities … Don’t make that face.
