As with artists, it's very hard to answer who's philosophy would stand the test of times. I'm sure that in Plato and Aristotle's times there were a whole bunch of other philosophers who were forgotten by now. Also contemporary philosophy, is divided to quite a lot of different fields and it depends on what you are interested in.

This is a pretty long list of active living philosophers and their field of study.

My favorite modern philosopher is Sam Harris (not the Star Search champion). Known primarily as a staunch adversary of Creationism his ideas about the nature of belief are the most relevant in our time.

Perhaps not exactly a philosopher of today, but at least of yesterday: Sir Karl Popper

In my opinion the worlds most influencing philosopher of the last century. His views on peace, epistemology and science are so great. I can recommend all of his books but if you want an overview of his work buy "All Life is Problem Solving".
