I was going to put this in the Head Shop, but the Conversation may be a better home. It's not as in-depth as most of the prostitution threads already started there (all thirty-eight of them).
how about this:
"philosophy" means "love of wisdom", right? And a philosopher is a "lover of wisdom", right? So what are we to think of people who are essentially professional philosophers? People with doctorates in philosophy working on an ethics board for some company. They are professional lovers of wisdom, right? That's prostitution of a sort, right?
Actually, I suppose this falls into the argument about whether prostitution is offering money for sex or for love. Either way, I think it's strange that I didn't care one way or another about prostitution until this question was raised to me. It made me feel dirty to be a philosophy major. I suppose the crime would be tainting love with money. And really, come to think of it, that's a pretty big deal. Tainting love? That's no good. One of my professors once said "If love isn't what life is all about, it should be", and I tend to agree. This is seriously making me reconsider my major. |
