De Botton, who classes himself as a writer rather than a philosopher, concurs. “For the past 150 years, to be a philosopher meant to be employed by a university, and with that came a certain approach to footnoting, teaching the government curriculum, and so on. But as more jobs and salaries are cut, suddenly those sitting tightly in the academy are forced to start to talk to a wider audience as a means of survival.”
Alain de Botton, in: ‘Pop philosophy is taking over the bookshops’
