Editing Jewish philosophy (section)

==== Jewish philosophers whose philosophy is not necessarily focused on Jewish themes ====
In the 20th and 21st centuries, there have also been many philosophers who are Jewish or of Jewish descent and whose Jewish background might influence their approach to some degree but whose writing is not necessarily focused on issues specific to Judaism. These include:
* [[Theodor W. Adorno]]
* [[Joseph Agassi]], an Israeli philosopher of science who developed [[Karl Popper]]'s ideas<ref>As early as 1934 [[Karl Popper]] wrote of the search for truth as "one of the strongest motives for scientific discovery." Still, he describes in ''Objective Knowledge'' (1972) early concerns about the much-criticized notion of truth as correspondence. Then came the semantic theory of truth formulated by the logician Alfred Tarski and published in 1933. Popper writes of learning in 1935 of the consequences of Tarski's theory, to his intense joy. The theory met critical objections to truth as correspondence and thereby rehabilitated it. The theory also seemed, in Popper's eyes, to support metaphysical realism and the regulative idea of a search for truth. Popper coined the term critical rationalism to describe his philosophy. Contemporary Jewish philosophers who follow Popper's philosophy include [[Joseph Agassi]], [[Adi Ophir]] and [[Yehuda Elkana]].</ref>
