Right now I think the conflict in the middle east will spurr some new development in philosophy, because it's really more than a war for Islam vs Democracy, it's a war between the old ways of thinking and the new ones. The thing about philosophers is that often they're not recognized until after their time, when historians can view a timeline of events and ideas with better clarity than while it's happening.
