These essays, more than anything, are a wide and variegated field report from philosophers who have successfully engaged various publics. Many essays are philosophers’ reflections on the publics they have engaged, the methods they have used to engage them, and the lessons and morals from these engagements. It emerges from these essays, for example, that there are very different publics who are responding to philosophy. There is an avid public for philosophy in American prisons, where the teaching of philosophy has attracted a dedicated cadre of professors and students. There is a public among activist groups across the political spectrum, a public in government policy. There is also, as it turns out, an avid public for philosophy in banks, private equity, and the tech oligarchy.
