Not sure the point of having a filter to select only authors born after 1900.
Does show the bias towards the American end of Anglo-American analytic philosophy though.
Quine is ponderous. No idea how David Lewis made it to the top of the list either.
Without Wittgenstein included, to me this list seems fairly pointless. Realise he might not be close to the top but without his work most of these American philosophers would be nowhere. Maybe I have a different idea as what counts as “contemporary”. Hume seems pretty contemporary to me. So does Nietzsche.
