Best philosophy book from the 21st century?

>Moi les hommes, je les déteste (English: I Hate Men) is a misandric essay by the French writer Pauline Harmange, a feminist activist from Lille. It was published in 2020, initially by the micropublisher Monstrograph, and later by a major publishing company, Éditions du Seuil.

>In the 96-page booklet, Harmange aims to "understand misandry and to give it back the right to exist." According to her, feminists have always needed to pretend not to hate men so as not to lose them as allies. But in her view, misandry is not only "perfectly justified, but also necessary". She advises women to reduce their relationships with men and toxic masculinity, in order to rediscover the benefits of the "sisterhood" among women.

I'll ignore the bait and say:

Quine - Philosophy of Logic
Quine - Two Dogmas of Empiricism (paper but whatever)
Wigner - The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences (paper)
Rorty - Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature
Putnam - can't pick a single book because I've read mostly excerpts and articles
C.S. Pierce - same as above
Kuhn - The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
Hackett - Hegel's Ladder (a commentary so good it belongs here)

I'd rank:
1. Pierce
2. Dogma's
3. Wigner - mathematics

For long term influence.

Ah fuck, you said 21st.

There is tons of good stuff but it's mostly interdisciplinary. Chaos theory, information theory, complexity, evolutionary epistemology, and semiotics are the big movers I see now.

Evolutionary epistemology is a giant pragmatist cope and the big thing going on now is efforts to replace it with semiotics and dialectical (inspired by Hegel but separated from Absolute Idealism and formalized, for semiotics it's abandoning Sausser, who the Continentals love, for Piercean tripartite semiotics because it works with science way better) on the one hand. On the other, side of the observer/observed epistemic cut, the big idea is symmetry (gauge invariance, etc.) This can also be represented by Pierces ideas of Firstness, Second less, and Thirdness.

The "big" books have already been written but history won't tell us which they are for another twenty years.

Deacon's connection of Shannon Entropy to Boltzmann Entropy in the formulation of a biosemiotics grounded in the physics instead of the humanities might price a big step.

Information ontology works will probably end up being remembered for giving us a new answer to the Hard Problem, but the dogma of physicalism is still so embedded that these are rejected out or hand right now.

Pic related doesn't have particularly new arguments but might get remembered long term for offering a very accessible but still analytically rigorous critique of physicalism.

Peirce is weird analytic autists like him but so do the most outre continental philosophers like deleuze and guattari, the estonian biosemioticians the neothomists and the process philosophy whiteheadian trannies.

Meanwhile the man himself was an autist with a knack for alienating people, reads almost like lewis carroll at times, stanned the confederacy to troll the bostonian shitlibs, caused a scandal by divorcing well born WASP wife to marry this woman juliette who variously claimed descent from a cadet branch of the house of hapsburg and to have been raised by gypsies and was rumored to have been a prostitute(i mean a semiotician would nt be able to resist that sort of thing)
