It is ironic that a formal education in philosophy today ends like an early Platonic dialogue: in aporia. It’s not just your wondering about how to find or create a job for yourself but the awkward fact that you paid an academic institution to have a professor of philosophy teach you with a straight face that the quintessential philosopher, Socrates, never required fees for teaching and that his brilliant student, Plato, who founded the Academy from which we derive the word “academic” from, didn’t charge any tuition fees either. In fact, the original philosophers were engaged in a fierce debate with the people that did: the sophists.
