Hey, Die Hard 4 was rad! He fights a jet with a semi!

The rest is spot on though.

Ah, Bradford, you seem to think you are the sole authority on both the subjects of philosophy and science. Such arrogance usually implies ignorance. And your ad hominem attack on the "Ignorant American" is rather childish and, once again, ignorant. I agree that philosophy is not dead, for only philosophy can claim it's own death, and therefore re-direct it's avenue of thought. As Bertrand Russell put it (in his Unpopular Essays), "contempt for philosophy, if developed to the point at which it becomes systematic, is itself a philosophy."

Science has indeed eclipsed philosophy in many realms. The modern scientific method had provided us with concrete answers to many of the classical philosophical postulates that were once unknowable in pre-technoligical societies. If you state that philosophy is alive in anyone that questions the unknowable metaphysical questions that all thinking people eventually ask themselves, then the practice of philosophy cannot die as long as there is intelligent life to ponder these things. Quite frankly, I find philosophy pleasurable as a form of mental masturbation, but its actual utility has been overshadowed by scientific pursuit of The Knowable. All else is speculation. A theory that cannot be tested is not a scientific theory. So lighten up, you take yourself a bit too seriously I think. Go and actually do something to help people in a concrete way instead of thinking of clever snipes for those who disagree with you. You may find it more fulfilling and lose some of your venom.

You don't know a thing about philosophy do you? What about Science? Do you actually know anything about either?

First off, from Wikipedia, so that you can see it for yourself if you want:

"Contemporary philosophy (c. 1960 – present)

In the last hundred years, philosophy has increasingly become an activity practiced within the modern research university, and accordingly it has grown more specialized and more distinct from the natural sciences. Much of philosophy in this period concerns itself with explaining the relation between the theories of the natural sciences and the ideas of the humanities or common sense.

It is arguable that later modern philosophy ended with contemporary philosophy's shift of focus from 19th century philosophers to 20th century philosophers. Philosophers such as Heidegger, the later Wittgenstein, and Dewey, occupied philosophical discourses exemplified in thinkers such as Derrida, Quine, Kripke, and Rorty."

... Eh, you know, it's apparent you need to read more, so here's everything you need to do the work yourself.

Wikipedia to Philosophy (I recommend you look into every branch of philosophy)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy

Wikipedia to Science (I recommend you look into every field of science too)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

You'll find that there is a lot of philosophy behind science, but not so much science behind philosophy because philosophy is more like the foundation of science.
