20th-century philosophy, as a book category, covers the wide-ranging schools, figures, and debates in Western philosophy roughly from 1900–2000, when rapid social and scientific change produced new methods and problems. It includes analytic traditions (logical positivism, ordinary-language analysis, philosophy of language and mind) and continental movements (phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism, post-structuralism), together with pragmatism and developments in political and moral theory. Key concerns are the nature of language, knowledge, consciousness, science, meaning, and value, and notable authors include Russell, Wittgenstein, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Dewey, Quine, Rorty, Derrida and Foucault. The category is appropriate for works that are historical surveys, primary texts, interpretive studies, or thematic treatments focused on these 20th‑century debates and their continuing influence.
