Cultivating Transferable Skills in Philosophy Undergraduates
Christopher Cowley
University departments now aim to provide far more than the core information that would have been demanded by the future scholars of yesteryear. Indeed, it could be argued that the subject matter is merely a vehicle by which to convey a set of skills deemed important for the future elite, a set that modern business and government cannot afford to spend time developing in their new recruits. The question then arises about the degree to which the university should accept this development and strive more systematically and consistently to cultivate these secondary skills, and the degree to which it should resist in the spirit of its original non-vocational calling.
