Inspired by this poll last year, several readers asked for one specifically about moral and political philosophers, so here it is.   I included any moral and political philosopher whose major work was done post-1945, and I included any influential living moral and political philosophers who are at least 60 years old.  No doubt there were omissions (you can write in candidates, but please observe the preceding rules); the poll will generate only a "top 20" list and I'll open it for discussion when the results are in.   Have fun!

ADDENDUM:  Note that because write-ins are (currently) permitted (there have already been some good additions, including Anscombe who was in my notes, but failed to get transcribed to the list!), every choice appears with a rank of #1.  In order to make your vote count you will need to choose a lower rank (unless you want to rank that philosopher first) or "no opinion" for every choice permitted.

UPDATE:  I've closed the write-in function (and thus all choices now appear initially with a rank of #74, until you change it), since it has served its useful purpose, and we are now getting nonsense entries (hint:  Habermas is not an Anglophone moral and political philosopher; no one outside the Rand cult thinks Leonard Peikoff is anything other than an irrelevant hack).  

TWO OTHER CARELESS OMISSIONS:   Joshua Cohen and Alan Gewirth; Cohen might well have made the top 20, I'm skeptical Gewirth would have, but who knows?  I may do a follow-up poll depending on how many others emerge.

AND THREE MORE: John Broome and Allen Buchanan, errors of omission; and Shelly Kagan, whom I wrongly thought was younger than 60 (given his youthful looks and energy!).
