http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_philosophers This links to the list of all philosophers past, present, and future. One of the future ones is GUILLE.

Thanks Antonio. I'm really sure I want to study philosophy. I hope I achieve by the end of it a provocative and seductive writing stylo so I gain followers and then I can live from philosophy without having too many worries about other jobs.

It was interesting to see that Gadamer was born in 1900 and died in 2002, he lived 102 years! I knew before that Russell lived up to 98, and I thought it was the highest, but no! Also, I was happy to see many philosophers alive today are teachers at universities, so then I might manage to go to one where there is an eminent philosopher as teacher. I would like to.

Alas! It has only Western Philosophers!!!! Not even the mention of such names as VimalKirti, Vasubhandu, Nagarjuna, J. Krishnamurti, Gangesha, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Dogen, Rinzai Gigen, Tagore & many many other favourites of mine!!!!!!

Does the "recognition" of philosophy still pertain to the Western part of the world?

For your information, there is a list of eastern philosophers. The thing is no that philosophy is reduced to the western world, but that philosophy itself was born in the western world. At least philosophy as seen from the Greeks, as logos instead of mitos, as rational thinking instead of divine explanation. It is not science (although that too was invented by the Greeks). The eastern philosophy does have rational thinking too, but it emerges from very different ideas and ideals, and different aims, and different ways, and different wills... As everything is different, philosophy is the western thing. I can't think for a good term for eastern philosophy.

I agree. Michael, I won't put a crown on myself. The only way in which confidence can be negative is by becoming over-confidence, and to become such thing, the subject must have power. I have power in nothing, in no area. Not even in my life, nor my existence.

kind regards michael.
