Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in a PhD program at Stanford, I had a conversation with my dissertation advisor about Habermas and he said, "I think he's about finished." That was in 1987. Habermas continued to work until his death and published his final book last year.

One of the most important scholars of the last 100 years, known through many discplines. Also a tireless foe of fascism and fanaticism.
 
TIL: Aurelius was an average dude who was sick his entire life, plagued by an ulcer that he took something for daily. I also learned that Meditations really didn't break any new ground.
