INDIVIDUAL PHILOSOPHERS

Just "Google" and you'll find loads on practically everyone you've ever heard of, including most modern philosophers too. But Peter King again has a good list at
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~worc0337/philosophers.html

And here are some faces in addition to those who show up elsewhere on this site. I've tried to list those names I think have made a broad impact. In the UK list, there are not many from recent years aside from Strawson and Williams - I wonder how many current UK philosophers will be remembered in the year 2100?
