Description
Summary:This essay’s goal is to think about experiences and obstacles –sometimes even counter-indications– of a Philosophical Doctorate, from the personal challenges of taking this professional and academic path until thesis conclusion and defense. Following considerations focus on day-by-day personal and college adventures for a PhD student, including relationship with thesis director, research development, founding concerns, etc. The battlefield of philosophy as a job (as income source) and philosophy as a lifestyle (which, despite all academic and job difficulties, requires dedication, vocation, and passion) is the loneliness of PhD student.
