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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47862967206039,"sku":"9781782390923","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781782390923.webp?v=1780477210","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fifty-thinkers-who-shaped-the-modern-world-9781782390923","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
