Don't think it was rhetorical. Philosophy has kind of fallen out of popular perceptions. Or worse, actively attacked as useless. It isn't like few decades ago where Camus and Sartre were commonly known, even popular, and people would sit around having coffee and talking about interesting subjects. It would be easy to grow up today and not know any philosophers.
