I dunno, for philosophy, it seems to me most decades between 1800 and 1920 were more momentous than the 1920s. I have no idea what Walter Benjamin and Cassirer are doing in there with Wittgenstein and Heidegger either. I mean, I like me some Walter Benjamin ... but I never thought of him as a Philosopher. Cassirer is just obscure; I can think of a half dozen better known philosophers of that time.
Pretty good decade for physics though; haven't had one like that since then.
