Twentieth Century Philosophy

Twentieth Century Philosophy explores fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, ethics, and language. It includes movements like existentialism, which emphasizes individual experience and freedom; analytic philosophy, which focuses on language and logic; and postmodernism, which challenges traditional narratives and truths. Key figures like Jean-Paul Sartre, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Michel Foucault questioned how we understand ourselves and the world. This era saw a shift from grand theories to exploring specific human experiences, leading to diverse perspectives that continue to influence contemporary thought and societal issues today.
