The great division of labour: it’s long been known: the French think, and we introduce. The Germans think, to a lesser extent – we’re all a bit bored of the Germans – and we contextualize their thought. Spell it all out in clear, pedestrian English.
We know our job. We’re underlabourers, with not an idea of our own. Framers. Footnoters.
We know what we’re for. We’re to write introductions to continental philosophy that no one on the continent even reads. We’re to spread the European gospel to all the other disciplines. So that UK idiots in architecture and law and business studies, God knows, can apply continental thought crappily.
UK drones, busy at their keyboards. And never carrying over thought to their lives. Never living from thought. Never taking UK European philosophy as a spiritual practice.
