PhiPhiPhi Posted March 26, 2014 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.
Wait For It... Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Philosopher with the worst name: PMS Hacker (Peter Michael Stephan Hacker). He's a Wittgenstein scholar at Oxford.

Most overrated ever: definitely Quine. Why "surprisingly" relevant? Does being accused of sexual harassment mean that nothing you ever did in your whole life was ever good? Edited March 26, 2014 by TheVineyard
Monadology Posted March 26, 2014 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
Neither Here Nor There Posted March 26, 2014 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.
PhiPhiPhi Posted March 26, 2014 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.
