In general, parents are known to be concerned about the future of their children. One or more reasons may be the grounds for their concern. The reasons may be different but often some of them are interconnected. They all arise from the context within which they themselves as well as their children are situated. The family is the immediate context. Since the family does not exist in an isolated and exclusive vacuum, its relation to the village, city, country and the world is undeniable. It is within this complex web of relations that parents pose the question about the future of their children. It is rare that parents pose the question about the future of their children with the intention of ensuring that their children will grow into unsuccessful, irredeemably dependent adults burdensome to both themselves, their parents and the wider community in which they live. The contrary intention may be assumed with regard to parental concern over the future of their children. This biological ethical model may be applied to the question about the future of philosophy in South Africa. Ultimately, it is a question about the future of philosophy in the world as economic fundamentalism today presses inexorably for the increasing budgetary indifference and marginalisation of the humanities and social sciences
