Emergent philosophies are those newly formed philosophies which are at, or are on the cusp of serious recognition as philosophical schools and theories. This implies a temporal criterion; for example, at the point in time which Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus were sitting down to formulate and expound their philosophies, French existentialism could have been conceived of as being an emergent philosophy; it now, of course, is no such thing, it is recognised as a particular branch of existentialism. Only history will be able to tell what today's emergent philosophies are. However, the term appears to often (if not solely) be utilized by proponents of pop philosophy (or pseudo-philosophy) as an excuse for why they have not yet garnered the attention of academic philosophers. By calling their philosophy an "emergent philosophy" they also become able enter into an explanation of the term and in the process associate their philosophy with historically important philosophic movements (e.g. existentialism). Proponents of the following philosophies claim the philosophies are emergent philosophies: It seems worth commenting that the preponderance of the emergent philosophies on the preceding list are or appear to be inspired by or related to developments in technology.
