Martin Heidegger (1889 - 1976) is acknowledged as a modern day philosopher. He wrote on a variety of subjects such as postmodernism, psychology, hermeneutics, political theory, existentialism, theology and phenomenology. He was also a member of the Nazi Party.
His major work was Being and Time (1927) which was fundamental in the development of existentialism, although Heidegger himself denied he was an existentialist.
Heidegger believed that a person's sense of self was dependent on a sense of time and his impending death.
