*That* assertion is pretty clearly wrong. I make *exactly* the same qualification in the paragraph immediately preceding the one they cite. I then explicitly say that the qualifications are the same in the footnote attached to said sentence!

Inspired by a forum post on influential works of philosophy, I asked GPT about major philosophical works of the 21st century. The results might surprise you!
