Philosophy was one of my majors undergrad. I don’t pretend to have mastered it, but I most definitely do not consider it useless, either. Far from. In fact, in a world where The Corner ruled, my first directive would probably be that all college student be required to take classes in the Catholic University philosophy department (another Cornerite’s first directive–Prime Directive?–would surely offset it, don’t worry, if that gives you the creeps).
