This is kind of true and untrue at the same time. There’s been plenty of modern philosophers and writers, they aren’t called as such though, critical theorists etc. also at the same time every philosopher ever has been either remixes of traditions that came before them both in the East and West and therefore nothing is ever new etc etc but interpretation itself is a perspective that changes based on context over and over Product is almost never a new kind of philosophy ever for because it hinges on different incentives compared to investigations of ontology or epistemology etc or just reflections and musings of the current state of things

I think people associate philosophy as a practice with established thinkers and “the classics” - it’s hard to frame shift to see how much new thinking is being produced these days From where I’m sitting it feels like there’s a huge amount of new philosophy and thinking. More than ever. Maybe the sheer amount of output has started to devalue/dilute it slightly? I imagine also the amount of specialisation might also make things seem less impactful compared to previous more generalist generations. This isn’t just true of philosophy but any academic field.

thinking of it; even the assumption that there is no new philosophy anymore is a philosophy
