Fake Job Searches
I was astonished that this takes place. Did you know that departments actually post jobs when they have already chosen a candidate? This is so offensive. Purposely waisting other peoples time is so disrespectful.

The basic rules of a market economy — even golden oldies, like a link between supply and demand — just don’t apply.

The History of Continental Philosophy review

Thomas Nenon (ed.), Kant, Kantianism, and Idealism: The Origins of Continental Philosophy
Reviewed by J. M. Fritzman, Lewis & Clark College
This is the first of eight volumes in the series The History of Continental Philosophy. In his introductory chapter, Thomas Nenon notes that, in contrast to analytic philosophy, continental philosophy developed through a deep and sustained dialogue with Kant's philosophy and those thinkers influenced by it in France and Germany during the nineteenth century. He is correct; Kant's philosophy begins its rehabilitation in analytic philosophy with the 1966 publications of Jonathan Bennett's Kant's Analytic and Peter Strawson's Bounds of Sense: An Essay on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. He also observes that, although Kant's philosophy has now been appropriated by both analytic and continental philosophy, the other philosophers discussed in this book have generally been ignored in analytic philosophy.

What College Professors & Lecturers are Paid
Honestly, its better than I thought it was. I wonder how close these numbers are to philosophy specific pay. Keep in mind that the survey size is just under 1700, and I'm not sure how they verify the information.
