Prominent 20th Century Philosophers
What were (or are) their names?
Some suggest that the most prominent philosophers of the 20th century were the ones in the long list below (at the end of the article). I am not in a position to confirm or refute that.
I can only recognize some “celebrity” philosophers:
Bertrand Russell, Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Karl Popper.
What of the following? I know their names but do most people? Do you?
Michel Foucault, Theodor Adorno, Alfred North Whitehead, Simone de Beauvoir.
Can you tell anything about the contributions of each of the above?
