   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!
