most philosophy courses in college are not philosophy.

if your professor preached at you from an elevated position it aint it boss

if your professor sat down and fired the flames of an open and passionate debate you got it

So office hours?

Finishing my History M.A and then looking into either State or Federal administration. One of my life-long friends completed their Ph. D at MIT recently under Chomsky and the only job available for him is marking papers at MIT. Ph. D's in Philosophy should only do so if their supervisor is chair of the whole department and they'll guarantee you a contract afterwards.

Man, it was an intro to philosophy glass full of freshies(me included) and we had this woman in her 30's, straight up academia all her life, with the name Alexandria. Quirky, unhinged before having her second coffee for the day, moods between high energy and low energy but she'd always answer our questions and was always chill.

I'd follow her like a puppy down the halls and strairways to her next class or to the philosophy department. Shame she never pulled me aside and fucked me.

My dream job is to be a tenured professor of metaphysics with no teaching duties. How do I get this job?

>/lit/-related because philosophy grad students are authors and therefore literature makers, hence are related to the literature they make. qed
Threads have to be related to literature not to entities that are themselves related to literature. No wonder you dropped out lmao

Well if you must know I sperged out in a seminar on analytic metaphysics bc I'm a kantfag and the prof was dissing german idealist metaphysics and I totally embarrassed him and btfo'd him in front of the whole class. He retaliated by giving me the cold shoulder and looks that could kill all semester. For me it was too much; I dropped out in shame.

This woman makes me understand why men simp. How can you look at her and not want to give her something?

Met/fucked enough girls who took pics exactly like this that my mind can't see the illusion as real anymore, I instinctively know what she really looks and feels likeThis pic isn't even a typical edited pic, there are so many edits I suspect it's a joke or she was goofing around. But even with less heavily altered ones, it's too obvious to me now.

Honestly women do a lot more damage to themselves and their own minds with all their filtering and editing, they see themselves as their editself. It's like a reverse of seeing yourself in a photo and going "that's how I really look?," women see the photo as their real self and unconsciously overlay it on their actual self when they see themselves in the mirror or in a more neutral photo. You gotta remember they take tons of selfies and spend a lot of time selecting the best ones and editing them, so it shapes their mind to view any real/natural depiction of them as the exception to the rule, and the rule is how they look once it's uploaded on instagram. Very unhealthy.

Not that anon but I have and he's right. I'm a undergrad majoring in philosophy and most of my seminars were more open. One was particularly great because it was about phenomenology of spirit and my prof said it would be disingenious for him to "teach" Hegel like you'd teach any other theory because it's so dense and he wants to hear our input before declaring his interpretation. A lot of the time it was a back-and-forth between him and the students. One group would always summarize and interpret the particular chapter at the beginning of the lesson and we would start from that. I always loved going there, had an intense feeling whenever I left that room, like you had just watched an amazing movie in the theatre.

You’ve never set foot in a seminar, have you?

mine was a stroke of good luck, as I quit my english and language studies degree on day one, after the uni suddenly announced they were not going to offer Latin anymore.
I was interested in a specific professor quit in protest and then took 3 years of private lessons from him.

I did CS instead, which was obviously the right choice anyway, and though i have no lang degree i am quite competent in Latin and Hebrew (and kinda, sorta Greek. It's complicated)
