Hello all!
I realize this question is somewhat loaded - particularly about what modern and a term like, 'philosophers' includes. But I'm curious if anyone can recommend authors to read, whom you would consider today's "greats" in terms of philosophy. Something like the Humes, Mills or Nietzsches of our day. I used to read quite a bit of philosophy back in uni but stopped to focus almost entirely on science for pretty much the last decade...and most of my philosophy has been coming from what pop-sci physicists, cosmologists and neuroscientists can say regarding philosophical questions. So just curious who I've been missing. Maybe something published in 2010 or newer, any topic would be cool. I'm just interested in knowing whether we now have (what you all would consider) today's modern analogues for past giants in philosophy. With such open access to write and publish - and larger populations - it seems easier for great minds to go unnoticed just as much as being heard!
Thanks
