But different from many other academic disciplines--think of medicine, engineering, jurisprudence, and most likely even economics--which are at least partly dedicated to the transmission of stocks of practical knowledge without which contemporary
societies
indeed could not (or only barely) survive, it would not be immediately precarious if teaching within philosophy, history, or literary criticism suddenly stopped.
