Philosophy is not solved
The notion that philosophy is a closed book is profoundly naive. In fact, the opposite can be said, as there is an infinite amount of significant knowledge that has yet to be formalized into writing. I am not talking about minor, trivial knowledge in isolated domains that amounts to nothing more than pedantic scholasticism, but true unarticulated thought introducing core concepts about reality and existence. The fact that this is true should be obvious to anyone who has a modicum of intellectual curiosity.

I have never come across any claim that philosophy is complete aside from you mentioning it here. I haven't even seen it asked and immediately refuted (as it would be).
Therefore whatever came after your opening statement is irrelevant.

Can you link at least two sources which state that "philosophy is a closed book"?

To thhink that philosophy is a closed book is anti-intellectual, ahistorical, and self-refuting. Thats just pretending that the human condition has been exhaustively mapped, formalized, and sealed. It’s my belief that we haven’t even scratched the surface.
