Stephen Hawking said "philosophy is dead. Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science - particularly in physics." - Can someone elaborate? What are the strengths and weaknesses of this argument and what would modern philosophers make of the statement?

>Can someone elaborate?

What this means is that Hawking does not know anything about philosophy, including modern philosophy, but is willing to make bold unjustified inaccurate claims about matters of which he is entirely ignorant.

The strengths of the argument are that it is concise and that it is relatively clear about what point it is trying to make. The weaknesses of the argument are that it is false and that it perpetuates an inaccurate picture of philosophy which is commonly held among the ignorant, doubly so because the originator of the argument is a famous person and so his opinion carries more weight with many people.
