Panjāh mutafakir-i buzurg-i mu'āṣir (az sakhtār girāyī ta pasā insān girāyī): Persian 1402

This book, as the author admits, is more than anything inspired by Diane Collinson's famous work, Fifty Great Philosophers (1987). Although some differences distinguish this work; Collinson should have chosen philosophers in the entire history of philosophy who were also known to the general public; People like Plato and Hobbes or Sartre. But John Lechte's selection was limited to contemporary philosophers who were sometimes still on the path to fame. Also, this repeated question about the collection of "Fifty Key Thinkers" was raised even more than other similar works, whether there is a consensus on this selection of thinkers and philosophers who are sometimes alive at the time of writing the work? Does this mean that the most important contemporary philosophers are included in this list or can you think of other names? This challenge has caused names such as Agamben, Badiou, Bergson, Butler, Haraway, Heidegger, Husserl, Maturana, Virilio, and Žižek to be replaced in the second edition of the book. According to the author, the basis of his work is even in the selection of informative and informative works have been. In order to understand contemporary thoughts, Lechte placed fifty selected key thinkers in ten groups: early structuralism, phenomenology, structuralism, poststructuralist ideas, semiotics, second-generation feminism, post-Marxism, modernity, postmodernity, and finally the ideas inspired by vitalism. He hopes that this division will help the readers to understand the intellectual direction of the thinkers as well as the general meaning and concept of this collection.
