PhiPhiPhi Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Colin McGinn. McGinn was a surprisingly relevant and good philosopher in the 80s. As for my vote: Worst philosopher ever? No idea. Most overrated ever: definitely Quine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monadology Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why "surprisingly" relevant? Does being accused of sexual harassment mean that nothing you ever did in your whole life was ever good? No, but it might be surprising to someone who read had only read his recent work much of which was less than stellar. philwomen2014 and Guillaume 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neither Here Nor There Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hegel and Heidegger? No way. They are the best philosophers. As far as worsts, I might pick Descartes. "Worst" is not a good word, though. I just disagree with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiPhiPhi Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why "surprisingly" relevant? Does being accused of sexual harassment mean that nothing you ever did in your whole life was ever good? As Monadology pointed out - McGinn has produced shit for the past decade, at least. It's similar to the case of Nagel - if I were to tell someone who has only read Mind and Cosmos that Nagel was one of the best philosophers of the 20th century, they'd probably look at me as if I were crazy.
