Greg Restall has written a very good review of the the works, ideas and
contributions
of the greatest logicians of the XIXth and XXth centuries, some of them being

It is a worthwhile reading!

But, I find the labels strange. How can true philosophy
be feminist, marxist, conservative or ‘tonyist’?

Years ago, Chomsky, in one of his lectures, said that
he did not like words such as ‘marxism’, for there is no
such thing as ‘einsteinism’ in Physics, for neither Marx
nor Einstein were gods.

What should a philosopical thesis on racial prejudice in the USA be called? Black Philosophy? Africanist Philosophy?
And if we think of prejudices against people of Mexican
origin? Do we get Mexicanist Philosophy?

I would suggest that one should use more informative
descriptions of what these Philosopher’s ideas are, rather
than generic labels.
