History of philosophy in the 20th century

In his book "The History of Philosophy in the Twentieth Century," Christian DeLacamponia reviews the divergent dramatic path of this system and shows that its greatest figures, even the most bizarre among them, were heavily influenced by the events of their time. From Ludwig Wittgenstein, who already authored the famous Tractatus in the trenches during World War I, to Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger — the one who found himself barred from public life with the arrival of Hitler to power, and the other a member of the Nazi Party who later refused to disown German war crimes. From Bertrand Russell, whose pacifist life led him to shift from logic and mathematics to social and ethical questions, to Jean-Paul Sartre, who made philosophy suitable for direct and personal political engagement, to Rudolf Carnap, the committed socialist, and Karl Popper, a fierce opponent of communism. From the Vienna Circle and the Frankfurt School to the contemporary work of philosophers with diverse minds like Jacques Derrida, Jürgen Habermas, and Hilary Putnam. The thinking of these philosophers, and dozens of others, cannot be understood without placing it in the context of the times they lived in.
