| Summary: | Abstract
It is a useful exercise to reflect, sometimes, on the way philosophy
is carried out, and on how we think philosophy should be carried
out in the future. We need to accept that academia is undergoing
some important changes, which means that academic philosophy is also
changing. The aim of this article is to discuss what gives philosophy
its legitimacy in Norway. I will argue that the justification for
having philosophy in Norway, in one way or the other, must be that
it has societal value. In this respect, I believe that teaching
and public outreach are philosophy's most important areas of focus.
Even though I mainly concentrate on academic philosophy in Norway,
much of what I say is relevant for understanding the legitimacy
of academic philosophy in other countries. |
