Translation of "дескать" in English

Но все это, по мнению профессора, не беда, ибо ценность философии, дескать, как раз в ее неопределённости, в задавании вопросов, а не в ответах на эти вопросы.

- But all this, in the professor's opinion, does not matter, because the value of philosophy, he says, is precisely in its uncertainty, in asking questions, not in answering these questions.
