ADDENDUM: There are some hard cases. Bob Goodin (ANU), for example, would easily be in the top 20 in terms of overall citations, but many are to works that have little or no philosophical dimension to them, since Goodin is also a leading scholar in political science. In other cases, scholars pick up cites because they have edited the work of a major philosopher of the past: the cites are mostly to that historical figure, but Google Scholar is fairly indiscriminating in how it counts (though authors can remove such counts from their totals).
