There is still hope for philosophy, possibly even for the feuilleton. If, for example, a feuilleton article on the war is not written by daily literary editorial strategists or even former editors-in-chief, it can generate attention, applause, anger, and in the best case even contemplation. He is noticed, he becomes part of a debate that is often called for in such essays (“a broad social debate is necessary”). The author is insulted or praised, which then usually develops into a general mutual insult of the Twitterati, only sometimes into a discussion. Quite a few who have also done a doctorate offer an “answer” or, if they know Latin, a “replica” to such an essay.
