If, as has often been supposed, the poor have no time for philosophy, then why have philosophers always made time for them? Why is the history of philosophyfrom Plato to Karl Marx to Jean-Paul Sartre to Pierre Bourdieuthe history of so many figures of the poor: plebes, men of iron, the demos, artisans, common people, proletarians, the masses? Why have philosophers made the shoemaker, in particular, a remarkably ubiquitous presence in this history? Does philosophy itself depend on this thinking about the poor? If so, can it ever refrain from thinking for them?
