    Ludwig Wittgenstein was a significant 20th century philosopher. In his first major work, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, he argued that language, thought, and reality are connected, with simple language corresponding to simple objects in the world. Later, he abandoned this view and argued that there are many languages and ways of using them, shaped by our cultures. Karl Popper was one of the greatest philosophers of science in the 21st century. He rejected empiricism and argued that knowledge comes not from senses alone but from attempting to disprove hypotheses through falsification, allowing us to eliminate errors and progress towards truth.
