Eric Schwitzgebel (UC Riverside) has some terrific charts here showing the growth and decline of interest in various figures (e.g., Kant, Hume, Sellars) and topics (e.g., "twin earth," "ordinary language") over the last century. I'm pleased to see that Nietzsche is a growth industry!
UPDATE: More charts here: Wittgenstein in decline (about time!), but Quine's stock receding as well (sigh), and Merleau-Ponty coming into his own! And check out the Dewey and Whitehead charts--very striking.
