Pe�a-Guzm�n argue that academic philosophy is steeped in a host of myths that keep professional philosophers in a state of self-ignorance. Understood as unconscious schemas that shape philosophers' collective imaginary, these myths perform a dangerous ideological function within the discipline. Not only do they contribute to the overwhelming demographic homogeneity of the profession-ensuring that philosophy remains a holdout of white and male dominance-but they also prevent philosophers from seeing themselves as workers who, like all workers who sell their labor for a wage under capital, are subject to alienation, exploitation, and oppression. After outlining and critiquing these myths, Spera and Pe�a-Guzm�n call upon philosophers to collectively invent new myths that will enrich rather than impoverish their psychic and professional lives. Through these new myths, they argue, a new philosophy-a \"philosophy of the future\"-will be born.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47966603608215,"sku":"9781666939736","price":3631.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781666939736.webp?v=1782911500","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/professional-philosophy-and-its-myths-9781666939736","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
