Summary/Abstract: The essay deals with four significant personalities in the history of Hungarian philosophy in the 20th century: Imre Pauer, Ákos Pauler, Bódog Somló, Béla Tankó. Its argumentation distinguishes two types of philosophers. The “passenger” consistently perseveres in his first chosen philosophy: he is not diverted by new philosophies. The “excursionist”, on the other hand, inconsistently, leaves behind his original philosophy, and chooses himself a new one. The conclusion of the essay: Pauer and Tankó are “passengers”, Somló and Pauler are “excursionists”.
