<br/><br/> The humanities disciplines, particularly literature and philosophy, are facing a disintegration amid rising neo-liberal and market-oriented academic paradigms. Administrative indifference and rationales mired in spreadsheets, cost–benefit analyses, and employability metrics are gradually burying disciplines foundational to critical judgments, empathy, and democratic thoughts. The closure of these disciplines is framed as a imperative rational restructuring. However, they mask deeper ideological recasting that favours profitability over intellectual inquiry.- Reproduced<br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/26-27/commentary/obituary-literature.html
