The sexism and sexual harassment episodes that have plagued philosophy departments in recent months has in some circles been reduced to an argument about whether monism, traditionalism, and degendered abstract logic is to be dismissed in favor of academic approaches that favor pluralism, progressivism, constructivism, and the recognition of gender in determining what kinds of things are to count as knowledge. The author doesn't buy this divide--nor does he think this is an ultimate either/or situation--and blames these episodes of ill behavior among philosophers as owing to the philosophers themselves and the materialist culture of corporate academia which keeps these unsavory people employed.
"As we are learning with these recent sexism and sexual harassment incidents, the utter ethically bankrupt nature of American philosophy departments is perhaps the symptom of a university system that is willing to sacrifice its academic mission for the almighty dollar. "
