Alright here are the "relatively well-known" people there: the three people who immediately come to my mind are Andrew Altman, Bill Edmundson (he has a joint-appointment with the law school) and George Graham. Below that you have a couple names which are known for their areas of interest. For example Andrew J. Cohen is well known for his work on Libertarianism (You can see some of his work on Bleeding Heart Libertarians if you're interested). Eddy Nahmias is starting to become a really big name in Moral Psychology, Free Will, and X-Phi if you're interested in any of those things. Tim O'Keefe is one of, I think, 6 guys who does work on Epicurus. I seem to remember Jessica Berry being a fairly well-known Nietzsche scholar. However, I found that looking for well-known people wasn't the right way to approach GSU. Take seminars you're interested in and form relationships with those professors. Chances are you'll take a seminar paper and transform it into your thesis and your writing sample. Make sure that if you have a particular interest, say in political philosophy, that you work with as many of those professors as you can. I like all the political philosophers in that department. Let me know if you have any other questions about the program.

I'm in the same boat. I've been admitted to Mizzou, but am only on the waiting list for funding (very high but still). I've been stressing out non-stop for the past two weeks. 5 more days...
