    Searching and researching a bit, the term, modern,
    could stretch back to a time variable in question.

    Who takes note of which philosophers may differ as wells.

    For me, looking at a list, a few are worthy of my memory
    which banks at times like Zhuangzi fishing including:

    Dan Dennett, David Chalmers, Nick Bostrom, Noam Chomsky,
    Steven Pinker, Kripke, John Searle and Tim Maudlin to name
    several names seen that return to mind a store.

    An other factor might be, what determines if a writer
    or a speaker is a philosopher. Ore knots.

    Without words, can a philosophy exist?

    - thanks! Cheers!
