And perhaps, if we philosophers decided to focus on content rather than reputation, we might find that what can happen at the periphery can also happen in the center. That is to say, if we talked about each other less and read each other more, we might find we actually have something to say, rather than to shout, across the 'border.' In other words, we might find that, within philosophy, fences don't make such good neighbors after all.
