They are: Anita Allen (Penn), Nancy Fraser (New School), Clark Glymour (Carnegie-Mellon), Brad Inwood (Yale), and Tommie Shelby (Harvard). This is a more reasonable outcome than one might have expected given the issues noted last fall, although I can report that many at least as worthy candidates on the inital ballot were not elected this time around (of those, one was a woman [but not a feminist philosopher, but clearly a leader in her field], while the others were all men). (The new way the AAAS is listing the newly elected members is much harder to decipher than in the past; I hope they'll fix it!)
ADDENDUM: Enrique Dussell (UNAM) was also elected, although it's unclear whether it was for his work in theology or in philosophy--philosophy is conjoined with "religious studies" as a section of the Academy. My recollection is that he was not on the philosophy ballot from the fall, but I may be wrong.
