ABSTRACT
In this chapter we will briefly survey contemporary philosophy, focusing especially on logical positivism and analytical philosophy, phenomenology and existentialism, and feminism. It is important to remember that all great philosophy lives in contemporary philosophy. Platonism, Aristotelianism, Thomism, Spinozism, Kantianism, etc., all form a part of contemporary philosophy; therefore, we can understand today's debates only by becoming familiar with the history of philosophy.
