I think it's pretty wrong to suggest that 'great intellectuals' can be broken down by decade - as we all probably know, the favour of current climates can change. Your Moores, Humes and the like might be important for the historical narrative of thinking, but I'd be surprised if anyone saw them as anything other than bit-players in the general narrative of thinking.
It'd be nice to see a bigger uptake of Abdul Karim-Souroush's writings in these times where the secular-democratic appears opposed to religion (or theocracy, in some cases). No-one's mentioned Derrida, Lyotard or Badiou yet, but then, I'm sure we could all wank off about the books we've read, right?
