INMO the cutting edge of Philosophy is in Philosophy of language. In that sphere we are gradually establishing that a lot of the great questions are actually problems of language and there are no correct answers because language is not precise enough or there is insufficient agreement on the meaning of words. This is especially true in concepts such as "knowledge" "truth" and "free will" (amongst others).
People influenced by continental philosophy often use the word 'truth' to mean 'beleif', ie it is a "truth" to muslims that that Mohammed was the prophet of god; a usuage that to me is simply absurd but then post modernists don;t actually think there is such a thing as objective reality.

Some may call them junk, I call them treasures.
