Is philosophy over? It would seem to me, personally, that its defeated itself. Rorty killed it, with his theory to end theories. Ironism. Its over baby.
Not in the least bit. Logic, Rhetoric, Ethics are all important and need to be discussed. Philosophy teaches one how to do that. Since society is always changing, there will always be a need for philosophy to argue how the changes affect us.
