“What is the value of philosophy”

Excerpts from interviews with a fairly eclectic group of mostly Anglophone philosophers, junior and senior, although clearly skewed towards those working in Mind/Language/Metaphysics/Epistemology (and relatively few value theorists and historians of philosophy) and including some non-philosophers (like Stanley Fish and Steven Pinker); among the contributors are Brian Skyrms, Tyler Burge, Timothy Williamson, Susanna Siegel, Roy Sorensen, Terence Horgan, Tim Maudlin, Frank Jackson, and many others.
