What is the greatest work in 20th century philosophy
Tractacus
It's Wittgenstein or Heidegger. Any other name will just be mentioned by hipsters trying to be unique
Being and Time or Tratacus
Philosophical Investigations or The Two Dogmas of Empiricism
The Two Dogmas of Empiericism
who wrote that?
The Incompleteness Theorems by Godel?
does that count?
How can the Tractatus even be the greatest work, when Wittgenstein himself disavowed it
Because at that point he was old, new-agey, retarded, and wrong.
Philosophical Investigations is much better and more relevant to Witty's ideas than the Tracitus
What does Being and Time offer? How am I better off having read it? I heard it takes a year of studying it exclusively to get anything out of it
How do I know I'll get something out of it and it's not just a waste of time
Kripke?

Getting real tired of your shit, modern man.
Checkout George Steiner's book on Heidegger. 300 pages. He was able to make Heidegger's thinking acessible. After that decide if you want to get more in depth or not
Quine.
I absolutely agree with Wittgenstein being on this list. The Tractatus can still be viewed in lieu of Wittgenstein's disavowal, because he saw it as a necessary ladder to be cast off once you've summited it's heights. I still believe that prop 7 is the most important piece of that work - that's surely something that even late Wittgenstein would not disavow.
I'm no very familar with Kripke, but I have heard that Kripke's mind would have been much better put to use doing Continental work rather than analytic non-sense.
He's less popular nowadays. Besides, analytic philosophers seem to have less intellectual impact.
Because they have no intellect
Sorry, meant 'individual impact'.
analytical philosophers overall tend to have more raw intellect than continentals
Incorrect. Logic is opposing to intellect. Stop stroking your ego, *nglo.
