Many philosophers of mind and cognitive science work also in cognate areas (like epistemology and philosophy of language), so I have tried to identify only those whose citations are primarily to their work in mind/cog sci. Some prominent philosophers who might have made the list did not have Google Scholar pages (e.g., Michael Tye, William Lycan, Susanna Siegel, Jesse Prinz, Colin McGinn, Paul Churchland, Christopher Peacocke, Joseph Levine, Terence Horgan). I have excluded highly cited philosophers who work in cognitive science (like Edouard Machery and Shaun Nichols), most of whose citations are to work unrelated to philosophy of mind. Please email me with omissions/corrections. Citations are rounded to the nearest hundred.
