Professional philosophy has strayed so far from its roots that Socrates wouldn't stand a chance of landing tenure in most departments today. After all, he spent his time chatting with the rabble rather than buried in the secondary literature and polishing arguments for peer-reviewed journals. Socrates Tenured diagnoses the pathologies of contemporary philosophy and shows how it can be revitalized. The first part of the book sketches the crisis facing philosophy in a neoliberal age and traces its roots back to the 20th-century move to turn philosophy into an academic discipline. The authors then look at various attempts from applied ethics to public philosophy to confront the resulting problems of insularity and societal irrelevance. The second part of the book argues that such approaches must be institutionalized if they are to serve as a viable paradigm for a 21st-century philosophy. Frodeman and Briggle illustrate this argument through the theory and practice of what they call 'field philosophy'.
