And let's not forget Simone de Beauvoir. She was a very important voice for women.

You're right!...after I read your comment, I remembered I have one of his works ... https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/colonialism-and-neo-colonialism-jean-paul-sartre/1117193911

I couldn't find it(must be still unpacked and in the attic..lol). But, as I was looking on the bookshelf I pulled out one of Popper's works and there was a book mark in it. It was right in one of his discussions about Kant....and also Einstein Here is that passage:

He(Kant) was concerned with the knotty problem(which has to be faced by every cosmologist) of the finitude or infinity of the universe , with respect to both space and time. As far as space is concerned a fascinating solution has been suggested since, by Einstein, in the form of a world which is both finite and without limits. This solution cuts through the Kantian knot, but it uses more powerful means than those available to Kant and his contemporaries.

Damn that's good. What the hell happened to us?..where are all those fantastic thinkers now for they do not exist in our current space and time. Only dumbed down idiots. Why?
