“So it’s a rare analytic department today that has those exclusionary tendencies. Systematic thought has returned, as has the esteem for the history of philosophy, not as an antiquarian discipline but in providing the language in which contemporary philosophy is done. These are part of the conventional wisdom today. Every once in a while, one will still hear echoes of the older, more hard-edged tone, but that is already somewhat anachronistic.”
