re: Why don't we have highly regarded philosophers anymore?

Science killed philosophy roughly around the turn of the 20th century.
NOTE: I am talking about systematic philosophy dealing with topics like epistemology and the philosophy of mind, etc. The stuff that the greats like Hume and Kant used to argue about.
There's plenty of political philosophy (socialism) and "ethics" (SJW's) but very little real philosophy anymore.

And I don't know how you can say that the epistemology was killed off around the turn of the 20th century, when Karl Popper is one of the most important philosophers in this area, specifically guiding the conceptualization and application of the scientific process.
On the other hand, I'm reminded that my degree is "Doctor of Philosophy" so maybe you're onto something regarding its demise.
