Most cited living philosophers working in metaphysics & epistemology with Google Scholar pages (CORRECTED)

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.)

  1. Timothy Williamson (Oxford): 38,100
  2. Robert Stalnaker (MIT [emeritus]): 34,020
  3. Ernest Sosa (Rutgers): 24,600
  4. Kit Fine (NYU): 23,600
  5. Duncan Pritchard (UC Irvine): 16,800
  6. Jason Stanley (Toronto): 15,900

  1. […] such as Hans Kamp [23,100 citations] and Nicholas Asher [20,100 citations].) Some on the “metaphysics & epistemology” list (like Robert Stalnaker and Jason Stanley) also have a lot of citations in philosophy of […]
