The Resurrection

[Alan V]

What you say may be true of philosophers, but it is not true of empiricists and materialists, who define knowledge more in terms of probabilities rather than certainties.

Empiricists and materialists are just types of philosophers. 

A generally-accepted perspective is that such approaches emerged from philosophy but have taken on a life of their own as they have been confirmed and expanded.  They are now best embodied in scholarship and the sciences, no longer in philosophy.

Philosophy has every reason to be proud of her children. She just doesn't control their lives anymore.
