Heh, and does anyone really care what happened "outside that sphere" for the latter part of the 20th century...?

But, seriously, what does your statement prove? By this measure, we should ignore Sartre, and definitely ignore Hannah Arendt.

Hell, by this measure, we should all study Dan Brown.

It is somewhat sad, that so many, both on the left and the right, do not see the value of knowing, and understanding, ideas they may disagree with. This goes both for Limbaugh-like talk shows, as well as for minor-league academia.
