Description
In The Rise of Neoliberal Philosophy: Human Capital, Profitable Knowledge, and the Love of Wisdom, Brandon Absher argues that the neoliberal transformation of higher education has resulted in a paradigm shift in philosophy in the United States, leading to the rise of neoliberal philosophy.
Neoliberal philosophy seeks to attract investment by demonstrating that it can produce optimal return.
Further, philosophers in the neoliberal paradigm internalize and reproduce the values of the prevailing social order in their work, reorienting philosophical desire toward the production of attractive commodities.
The aim of philosophy in the neoliberal university, Absher shows, has become the production of human capital and profitable knowledge.
