      1. When will Liz Truss tell us which philosophers are approved by the Tory Government? Are we allowed to read analytic philosophers from the continent like Frege and Wittgenstein or are they verboten too? Is it only the logical positivists?

      Can I engage with Gettier and the pennies in his pocket or is that not an approved justified true belief?

    Am I allowed to read Chomsky if I stick to just his philosophy of language? I promise I won't get into his ill-defined political work.

      Only good old home-grown British philosophy for the Tories. Russell. Moore. Whitehead. The Tories are only interested in whether 1+1 equals 2 because that's the only kind of philosophy that can inform economics.
