I mean, really. What difference can philosophy possibly make in the real, day-to-day world in which we live? If I study philosophy, isn't my only career option to become a teacher or professor?
Read this interview (in *.pdf), published in Cogito magazine, with Martha Nussbaum, a renowned philosopher, legal thinker and public intellectual. See if you can spot all the different ways she claims philosophy has a real influence in areas like economics, politics, medicine, and others.
Are you convinced? Play 'devil's advocate': can you come up with any convincing arguments against her evidence?
