Neuroscience
It sort of makes me feel like an alchemist around the time of the advent of actual chemistry.

So, you feel as if your field is going to become obsolete?
^ There's a lot of overlap between areas like the philosophy of mind and neuroscience. Stuff like "what is consciousness" and so on. I have heard of philosophers being involved in joint research projects with neuroscientists.
I think what Myrm is getting at is that questions that philosophers have never been able to answer through reasoning may be answered by experiment , but ask me about the details and I'd have to say "Lol I dunno." I doubt it's the end of philosophy. Aristotle's view of the natural world and, later, natural theology both got pretty well discredited by science, but that wasn't the end of philosophy.
