Ask HN: What Is Modern Philosophy?

Based on the fact that philosophy means "love of wisdom", I would consider that all modern-day domains of science could be placed under philosophy.

The quantum studies have strong philosophical underlying to them, in my opinion. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge (which could cover a large part of advanced math) seems to be also philosophical.

Nonetheless, if I'm looking into articles/books/content about modern philosophy, I don't really find the current scientific ideas there.

So my question is: What is modern philosophy, if it's not science?
