This is probably the type of philosophy that gets produced when philosophy has to justify itself in face of new public management. Clearly, philosophy isn't a means to another means. But philosophy faculties have to justify themselves as a means to something – such as "understanding life" or "analytic skills" – producing all this bullshit literature. It sucks.
