Intro -- Raising the Alarm: An Examination of Innovation and Philosophical Denial -- DEDICATION -- TABLE OF CONTENTS -- Series Foreword -- What is this book about? -- Prologue -- Preamble -- 1. Backdrop with Questions -- 2. A Background to Awareness -- 3. The Puzzlement -- 4. Initial Discussion -- 5. Quine and The Drawing of Inferences -- 6. The Absence of Philosophy -- 7.

Summary: In this book we explore these questions, and more: why is philosophy vanishing, or even entirely absent from our world today? What has happened? If, at one time, philosophy was so very important, why would it no longer be much in evidence, if it is there at all? Where is the work of philosophy today as we push forward with innovation in our astonishing, leading-edge realms? Do we really understand what we are doing? Do we have any idea where we are going? And, most chillingly, regardless of the answers--does it matter?.
