Greatest Philosopher of the 20th-Century: The Runoff!

I included everyone who polled 3% or more in the earlier survey, plus I added Frege and Husserl, since many folks felt they should be included, even though they straddle the 19th- and 20th-centuries.   Please do not link to this unless you run a philosophy blog!

UPDATE MARCH 4 (11 AM CST):  With nearly 1700 votes cast, here's where things stand:

1.  Ludwig Wittgenstein (27%)

2.  Bertrand Russell (14%)

3.  David K. Lewis (12%)

4.  John Rawls (11%)

5.  Martin Heidegger (10%)

6.  W.V.O. Quine (9%)

7.  Gottlob Frege (8%)

8.  Edmund Husserl (3%)

9.  Michel Foucault (2%)

9.  Karl Popper (2%)

I do think the Lewis and Rawls results reflect the myopia of the present, and both are aided greatly by the fact that so many of their students (and students of their students) are no doubt among those reading this blog!
