Philosophy is alive in the same way that a barren desert is alive. At first glance its a wasteland and empty, but upon closer scrutiny there are pockets of life. Science and religion impact individuals lives on a daily basis whether they are looking for that interaction or not. But one must scrutinize his/her life and the world to find the under-current of philosophy. Perhaps in the future when there is a renaissance of stoicism and modern theology is the stuff of myths, then philosophy will awaken.
