Philosophy is what is left over when you bracket out common sense and expertise

From Richard Rorty’s Philosophy as Cultural Politics pg 125:

Contemplating this failure helps one realize that philosophy is what is left over after one has bracketed both common sense and all the various expert cultures It was never supposed to be such a culture. Whenever it has attempted to become one it has degenerated into scholasticism, into controversies which are of no interest to anyone outside the philosophical profession. The idea that either literary criticism or philosophy should become an expert culture is a result of unfortunate attempts to squeeze these areas of culture into a university system tailored to the needs of lawyers, physicians, and natural scientists.
