Description
Philosophischer Journalismus Wo bis vor kurzem die Philosophie noch aile schmei-chelhaften Attribute einer allein dem Urteil Gleichge-stellter unterworfenen Disziplin genofë, findet sie sich seit den 60er und 70er Jahren mehr und mehr einer
Philosophical Journalism Until recent times, philosophy enjoyed all the prestigious attributes of a scholarly discipline subject to peer judgement. Since the 1960s and 1970s it has been increasingly subject to a series of transformations, the most obvious of which is undoubtedly the emergence of a new intellectual style aimed at being accessible to a wide audience. The « fashionable » pole of philosophy, though it cannot exist overtly as such without risking self-denunciation, benefits from the increasing number of intermediate forums, roles and situations where the opposites coexist. And while the role of the media appears to be decisive in this evolution, as is shown by a host of indices (extension of the subjects, pathetic tone, etc.), it cannot be ignored that the very condition of their success also lies in the internal characteristics of the functioning of the discipline. The agents most linked to the conservation of a « humanist » form of cultural capital, prestigious but threatened by competition, seem to have no alternative but the rigid defence of academic orthodoxy or the invention of a profane philosophy directed especially towards topics of current affairs. But since in both cases what is at stake is the perpetuation of the cultural privileges of an intellectual elite, not surprisingly there is a growing number of alliances between academicism and journalism.
