The problem I see with this article is that it sees the issue as "either / or". Rather, Philosophy is done--and philosophers exist--both "in the world" and in the academy. Hugh Hefner promoted the "Playboy Philosophy" (which he saw as the good life) in the world. Others study Epicureanism in the academy.  Why not have both?

[Arlo]
I agree. I thought the article uncovers the same basic problem as Pirsig articulates, but fails to offer any substantive solution (as Pirsig attempts in ZMM).
