Peirce; the analytic philosophers Russell, Moore, Whitehead, and Wittgenstein; political leaders from Mohandas K. Gandhi to Adolf Hitler; and--last but not least--the four shapers-in-chief of our modern world: the philosopher, historian, and political theorist Karl Marx; the naturalist Charles Darwin, proposer of the theory of evolution; Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis; and the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, begetter of the special and general theories of relativity and founder of post-Newtonian physics. This book offers a crisp analysis of their key ideas, and in some cases a reevaluation of their importance as we proceed into the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Trombley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782390928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782390923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlantic Books (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 1.30d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Trombley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938000601343,"sku":"9781782390923","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7ff1e640-9ad7-43b6-95c7-51b8ec8019d0.jpg?v=1681433160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fifty-thinkers-who-shaped-the-stephen-trombley-9781782390923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
