Is Philosophy dead?

Religions have condemned Science as crowding them out. A fair claim.

The same claim can be made by philosophers. Centuries before the rise of scientific empiricism, philosophers published their qualitative beliefs about all topics - natural events, astronomy, psychology, and social.

As the scientific method looked at natural events and discovered laws of physics that described events better than invoking a theological cause, science also has crowded out philosophers.
