“…And if these continental philosophers are discussed, they are not seldom assimilated again as proto-analytic philosophers. For instance, Heidegger becomes an anti-representationalist who has an extended view of consciousness or is somehow concerned with concepts and intentionality (Jeuk 2022). 4 In particular the so-called Leiter rankings are exactly that (https://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2018/11/bestgeneral-journals-of-philosophy-2018.html): A group of philosophers who overwhelmingly work at Anglo-American elite universities or who have their degrees from these universities, who usually are also heavily invested in the journals that they rank, usually as editors, as members of editorial boards, as referees or as authors, determine which journals are the 'best'.…”

I explore the Marxian thesis, according to which ‘the ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class’. I argue that the dominance of analytic philosophy within contemporary philosophy exemplifies this Marxian verdict. I discuss several cases from analytic philosophy to support this claim. Then I discuss two strategies to overcome the power-based dominance of analytic philosophy within academia. First, I argue for representational pluralism, according to which different philosophical traditions should be more equally represented in philosophy departments. Second, I make the abolitionist case against peer review and journal editing, because I identify them as intrinsically corruptible and untransparent power mechanisms, that allow the dominant ideology of the day to sustain its hegemony under the guise of epistemic and scientific legitimacy.

What is the ontological significance of sustainability crises – and the struggles to overcome them? Drawing on Heideggerian perspectives – in dialogue with Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theories – I argue sustainability crises become meaningful at the level of everyday experience when they disrupt the flow of ordinary skilled practices and their orientations towards the future. Such disruptions trigger what Heidegger termed ‘anxiety’, which implies an erosion of life's coherence, meaning and purpose. Developing skills to ‘cope’ with sustainability crises may enact alternative ontologies that restore what anxiety threatens; ‘skills for sustainability’ potentially disclose new worlds, meanings, values and goals. I illustrate this through vignettes of individuals transitioning to organic farming in India. I show how disruptions to farmers’ skilled practices triggered anxiety while also prompting the development of skills for alternative agricultural practice. These skills enabled new ways of experiencing worlds, non-human entities and the telos of everyday activity.
