BBC greatest philosopher poll – vote for Gilles!

Writing about web page http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/greatest_philosopher.shtml

In an attempt to replicate the success of Fame Academy, the BBC web site is running a poll to find Britain's favourite philosopher.

You can nominate your personal favourite, along with a short text explaining why, or in my case, a long essay about Deleuze. Read through the list of nominations so far. Surprisingly, it appears that Wittgenstein, Spinoza and Leibniz are front runners. All of the other personalities are in there, with some positive recommendations for Popper (hoorah!), Hume (hoorah!), Foucault (hoorah!), and Eric Cantona (grrrr!).
