it should be noted that the 'great' philosophers way back when had all sorts of BIG notions about everything. These days, philosophers tend to specialize in one thing or another--recently there hasn't been a REALLY great philosopher that revolutionized everything the way einstein did for science. the closest one I could think of is wittgenstein and the logical positivists, who caused a significant shift in all philosophical works produced thereafter.
