Which (more or less) contemporary philosophers will still be read in 100 years? Which will still be important? (I presume Einstein is not read in physics but is important, so these are different questions.) This question has been bouncing around the blogosphere, kicked off by Brian Leiter, with contributions from Chris Bertram, Matthew Yglesias and Lawrence Solum. Hours of fun! I’ve already said a bit in discussions on those entries.
While you’re reading around the blogosphere, you might want to look at Chris Bertram’s interesting posts (one two) on how philosophy gets written.
