Marx says that philosophers don’t spring from the earth like mushrooms. So you’re not a mushroom, I’m not a mushroom, it’s not even certain that we’re philosophers … no, it is, let’s admit it. And philosophers—like artists and scholars and everyone else—are products of their time. What is “their time”? It is a particular moment—there are temporal rhythms, and so there are certain moments when something takes on a certain form.
So they are indeed mushrooms! Complicated mushrooms!
