I think rather that philosophy has been attempting, with various degrees
of success, to replace poetry, although perhaps both are these days
rather cowed by science. It would seem a shame if either were
obliterated by the other, but I would think very unlikely - philosophy
will just have to continue to envy poetry's irresponsibility and maybe
one day poetry will crawl out of its own belly and remember it doesn't
have to be anything except itself.
Best wishes
