non-edgy (discounting nrx garbage)
John Haugeland (argues radical thesis that Heidegger's dasein was not an individual, but the whole of mankind, arguing a kind of weird virtue ethicist interpretation of being & time)
Robert Brandom (fully extolling the "meaning is use" semantic theory of language in a systematic and unbelievably overcomplicated system in "Making It Explicit", the bastard son of wilfrid sellars and richard rorty arguing that we should replace the whole system of representationalism and reference with an inferential semantics)
John McDowell (weird as fuck kantian)
Charles Taylor (communitarian who directly attacks rawlsian & habermasian & weberian thesis about rationality, his recent "A secular age" attacks the notion that globalization is gradually and inevitably transforming the globe, stating religion is as strong as ever, and that attempts to strongly divide the religious and secular spheres are impossible)
Bob Hale & Crispin Wright (seek to revive the fregean/russellian project of logicism, deducing the whole of mathematics from logical principles)
New Wittgensteinians (subverts modern analytic exegesis of wittgenstein strongly in favour of wittgenstein's personal "therapeutic" approach to philosophical quandaries, argues that there's been a continuity in his work since the beginning and that the tractatus was an exercise in kierkegaardian irony)
Hilary Putnam (invents a new paradigm for philosophy every five years that he'll reject five years later, basically an american jewish bertrand russell)
David K Lewis (already dead but weird enough to mention)(LITERALLY BELIEVES IN MODAL WORLDS IN THE LEIBNIZIAN SENSE)(WAS AN ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHER)
