In response to Questions posted by pink101:


It might, but I'd have to know what you mean by schools. I'd say that in some circles there are aspects of philosophy that have become completely dismissed. This is especially true in certain Continentalist circles (or postmodern), but then they tend to dismiss everything that isn't theirs happy.

There are, of course, people still doing metaphysics, but with the breaking down of philosophy into specialties and focuses and the general attacks on metaphysics over the last century, it doesn't seem likely that we will have another Kant or Descartes or Plato any time soon. By that I mean a philosopher who integrates metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics into his or her overall system. That's a shame because I think that's a critical part of philosophy, that sort of breadth and scope.
