Philosophy’s End

Philosophy’s role is typically a reflective one. Yet
this stance is in peril of being corrupted. Because it
is being driven to specialized inquiries, the
subdisciplines of which it is comprised may develop
into separate fields, whose presence will then need
to be justified in the same way the sciences are.
This is impossible, however, given their diverging
objectives. If this course of action persist,
philosophy’s end in the sense of its ending is
imminent, on account of its no longer having an end
in the sense of its objective.
