“…33 Subsequently, Hargens and KellyWilson found that anomie (ie, disorganization, rootlessness) exerted strong effects of scholarly pessimism within fields and that disciplinary discontent, or feelings that one's field is stagnant, is attributable largely to dissensus (ie, dissentious behavior) among scholars in that field, rather than to individual characteristics of the scholar. 46 While high-and low-consensus disciplines have demonstrated their own types of scholarly deviation (ie, data falsification in high-consensus fields and plagiarism in low-consensus fields), 47 high-consensus scholars are thought to demonstrate greater conformity to the norms of universalism, organized skepticism, and disinterestedness. 48 Similarly, the content of informal discourse among colleagues varies among disciplines; scholars in high-consensus disciplines will likely discuss research-…”

“…We need to know to what extent researchers are sharing theories, topics, and language that are core to studying nonprofits and philanthropy. Inquiries of this sort are particularly germane to new interdisciplinary fields of research; empirical analysis shows that scholars in disciplines with low levels of consensus assess the vitality of their fields more pessimistically (Hargens & Kelly-Wilson, 1994, p. 1191).…”

The research field of nonprofits and philanthropy has grown exponentially. To what extent do nonprofit scholars share a common language? Answering this question is crucial to assessing the field’s intellectual cohesiveness. We studied how coauthor networks, scholarly reputation, and the prevalence of female authors influence consensus formation. We found that the degree of consensus for all major research topics in the field has increased over time—For every 10% growth in the volume of literature, shared language increased by 1.4%. A cohesive research community on nonprofits and philanthropy has been forming since the early 2000s. Female scholars are fewer in number and less cited than males; their presence did not exceed 40% for most topics. The citation counts of scholars and small-world property of networks are positively associated with consensus, suggesting that star researchers and knowledge brokers bridging different intellectual communities are key to sharing research interests and language.

“…Rorty, por sua vez, desempenhaainda que de forma indireta, por não se associar aos Pluralistas, e apesar de a liderança do movimento estar a cargo de outras figuras como Smith e Wilshireo papel de formulador ou de framer intelectual do movimento. Movimentos intelectuais tendem a ser bem-sucedidos quando atores de alto status e visibilidade "abrigam reclamações contra o que para eles são as tendências intelectuais do momento" (Frickel e Gross 2005), dando forma intelectual a uma insatisfação disciplinar (Hargens e Kelly-Wilson 1994) e apontando na direção de um distanciamento e diferenciação em relação às práticas intelectuais dominantes.…”

The thesis relates the rise of post-analytic philosophy in the US to the transformation of the institutional contexts of professional philosophical life in the 1960s, as expressed in the intellectual strategies of Richard Rorty (1931Rorty ( -2007 of reconciling the two conflicting main branches of American academic philosophy in the 20 th century. The task asks for a reconstruction of the trajectory of autonomization, professionalization and massification of philosophy as an academic discipline in the 19th century, from the establishment of university departments and graduate programs and the credentialization of the life of the mind to the demographical shifts in the discipline introduced by the expansion of higher learning in the postwar years. The effort to associate the elitist system of higher education of the first half the 20 th to the hegemony of the technical style of analytic philosophy and the rise of a pluralist philosophical outlook to the massification of access to post-secondary education offers a renewed perspective, of socio-historical inclinations, of the roots of contemporary intellectual movements.
