As educators, in contrast, we can perhaps make ourselves useful by beginning to clear the extensive muck out of at least some of our students' minds. In any event, the discipline of philosophy as such is in serious need of renewal, but that, should it unexpectedly happen, will be matter of luck rather than a result of deliberate action.
