The issue about whether Philosophy has become redundant in our time constitutes one of the initial or beginning issues in Philosophy. Philosophy, which is, broadly speaking, one of the humanities, is not and may not be a product of socio-economic relations. When these disciplines concede that they have become encapsulated in the existing order and that therefore they wish to continue the status quo without a dynamic revision and reformation, they deserve to be declared redundant. Philosophy and the humanities will only regain a leading position when, in the light of the various qualities of being human, alternative choices are investigated.
