Do modern philosophers even have a place in society now? Everything has already been thunk.

Not sure if I can even name a modern philosopher. Maybe that dude who writes "The Ethicist" columns for NY Times.

Funny, a column called "The Ethicist" would be printed in the NY Times, a liberal left leaning news paper. I wonder if there is connection between philosphy and being a liberalitisionist.

What is it, exactly, that you think philosophers do, and what do you think philosophy is?

Pure philosophers don't exist in a capitalist society. If you think about it, the classic philosophers didn't really do anything to affect the world. Maybe, MAYBE they kick started the European Renaissance, but maybe not.

No need for modern philosophy. The Greeks answered all of life's questions centuries ago.
