Do you agree with Stephen Hawking that "philosophy is dead?"?
)
March 7th, 2016
In the first page of short book The Grand Design (coauthored by Leonard Mlodinow) Stephen Hawking boldly (and presumptuously, I am tempted to say) asserts that “philosophy is dead.” His reasoning is that philosophy has not kept up with the pace of scientific discovery, and there are (or will soon be) no metaphysical questions that philosophy can answer that science cannot.
Do you think that philosophy is still a relevant field, or do you agree with Dr. Hawking? If you disagree, can you remark on some of the ways philosophy has elevated the collective consciousness in modern times?
