Once again, some philosophers like to make the list (like Peter van Inwagen and Crispin Wright) did not have Google Scholar pages, but most did. Some philosophers (like Stalnaker, Stanley, Boghossian, Devitt) do a lot of work in philosophy of language, but often in ways that bleeds over into metaphysics & epistemology, so I include them here. (I will do a separate list for “pure” as it were philosophers of language, like Brandom, LePore, Perry, MacFarlane and Soames, among others.)

The irony here is that both Ben and Paul are fighting the wrong battle — like dinosaurs before the meteor…
