Jesus, what a terrible list. Debord, Evola, Montaigne and Pascal are all brillant minds who should be above Mill, Nietzsche or even fucking Voltaire (whose philosophy is based solely on "contrarianism").

I took a course on modern and contemporary social and political philosophy, and like the entire second half of the semester was spent on Rawls and arguments against him.
William Fisher
That's nice. He still contributed nothing to philosophy.

I put this here to get input. The next thread I make will have changes according to well reasoned arguments. If really good posts come out I'll make a chart.
My Tier 1-3 admittedly could be swapped with a lot of them in Tier 4. I'm open to change, so a major rework is possible.
here. I actually like Rawls. I just don't think he should be that high. He's certainly contributed to the field in an important manner by mediating between the Kantian categorical imperative and ulitilarianism, but a philosopher like Aristotle just blows him out of the water in terms of extent of influence, length of influence, etc.
Aristotle contibuted to aesthetic philosophy, logic, and natural philosophy, not to mention developing a sophisticated notion of causality, which is fundamental in almost every epistemological field.
And even though I'm not a big fan of Plato, he should be at least Tier 1 or Tier 2 b/c of sheer influence.

I'll take that into consideration in the next iteration.
