Over 1200 philosophers have spoken on how we should respond to "analytic metaphysics"...

...and we now know something, but I'm not sure what (other than a lot of philosophers don't like analytic metaphysics):

Yeah!    19%223 Just say "No"!    10%115 Prison    5%57 Ridicule and contempt    13%153 Praise and glory    12%139 Ignore it    23%271 None of the above    20%242

31% of respondents have a positive view of "analytic metaphysics," 28% a fairly negative view, and 23% say we should just "ignore it."  Since "analytic metaphysics" is a current prestige area of philosophy--well-represented at all the leading PhD programs--some of this may be tainted a bit with jealousy.   Certainly I wish actual fields with cognitive criteria, like the ones I work in, were as important on the contemporary landscape!
