Abstract	In this article, I elucidate the meaning of the act of philosophizing as a research activity in academia. My main thesis is that, as academic philosophers, we need to change our existing relation to thinking in academia, which requires a radical re-evaluation of the ethos, or, the dwelling-place of philosophy. Drawing on Martin Heidegger's thought, I offer a place-based thinking, taking up the issue of being-in-academia as part of the question of dwelling. First, I explore the technological nature of being-in-academia departing from Heidegger's account of scientific research as 'constant activity'. After identifying the ontological character of our situation in academia as captivation in the world, I bring up the matter of overcoming modern academia, discussing the possibility of orienting ourselves at the limits of education. I argue that reassessing our utilitarian relation to world and language, and recognizing the meontological dimension of thinking, is key for being able to de-structure academia and make room for 'ontological freedom'. I conclude that the emergence of a new dwelling-place requires a poietic process of place-making at the limits of academia. (As Provided).
