The problem with modern philosophy is it rides the curtails of physics and other sciences. It basically exists to explain the phenomenon the physics cannot (think schrodinger's cat). Ancient philosophy was all intertwined with science because the philosophers were the scientists. Ancient philosophy still has its place in teaching readers how to think better and more rationally. And I think modern philosophy will increase in value as we build more intelligent machines.
