What I mean is people who you felt were really positive energies in the world. By modern I mean in the past 30 years they passed on.

Seems like many natural scientists has positive and optimistic disposition, therefore many people find them delighting.

When thinking of modern thinkers and philosophers, that I would have felt emitting positive energy, not many comes to my mind since almost every modern - if we consider it as the era of modernism and postmodernism - thinkers are critical and pessimistic by definition.

However, there is one I felted enchanting:


Jiddu Krishnamurti

Do you have any other in mind? I would love to hear... Could be nice alternatives to postmodernist, existentialist, critical theorists, nihilists etc. (whom I love to read though...)

[SirArtturi]

Well, I could say Russell is one of the 'enchanting' philosophers, but never felt that his passing left the world a little darker - though havent even lived at that time :)
