German philosophy is not dying II
In response to my argument about ‘German philosophy is not dying’ (see below) someone replied: “Since recently, the philosophy departments in Konstanz and Tübingen have ceased to do so. This is a wide-spread tendency in Germany.” The author means, I assume, that there is no classical German philosophy in these universities. Well, Tuebingen hired U. Schloesser (Kant, Fichte, Hegel) and Konstanz hired D. Emundts (Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty). I’m afraid the observation of a ‘wide-spread tendency’ is not due to data but to confirmation bias.
