how many great philosophers have we had in the last 100 years? Honestly?

Jean-Paul Sartre and Bertrand Russell would be the only contenders, methinks

...MAYBE Heidegger


Nietzsche?

edit: oh damn he's short by 6 years...

Honestly guys, it was Constantine, who changed our view forever on what Jesus, the church and, what hell is, and had great influence on all the categories thorough out history. Maybe not physics though...

Ok, I'm outta here.

Constantine is a) highly overrated b) not a 19th centtury man by a good 1600 years

Actually, the article you partly posted goes into that some more. I will feel free to type some of the quote..cause, I can't find all of it on there..so, spelling mistakes are entirely up to me, since we know that Alan Moore is infallible.

The article appeared in Warrior Magazine (#17) 1983.

And I think Victor is right although Superman and Batman probably influenced just as much if not more...taking into account that they had more time....then Kirby and Lee created a lot more......but well it's not about comics anyways, so.....

Interesting I have every issue of Warriar Bardock next time I am in my parents loft I will check it out!

In regards to Philosophers whilst primarily a Physicist Feynman is a strong candidate. Even though he is quoted as saying "Philosophy is bs", I think he might be right🙂
