A recent manifesto of sorts from the philosopher Clark Glymour has provoked a bit of discussion about the history of philosophy, what its relationship to the humanities and sciences should be like, and whether university administrators should keep philosophy departments around at all. Critiques and discussions from Mark Lance, Eric Schwitzgebel, Eric Schliesser, and Luke Muehlhauser.

The heirs of their remoteness from analytic thought were LeCans and Derrida and Pol Pot.
Wow, seriously? Lump an Algerian Jewish philosopher who was actually fairly politically active for a prolific academic in with a murderous dictator. Inflammatory much?

Here is Richard Rorty's (more interesting, in my opinion) take on analytic philosophy, the history of philosophy, the humanities and their relation to science and each other.
