@boodleoops @philosophyexp But but...the headline is addressed to the average NPR listener, who can prob list only one--Ayn (gulp) Rand!

@PhilosophyExp@boodleoops NPR types could probably list Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, maybe Wittegenstein, Russell & a few other dudes -
@JeanKazez@boodleoops Oh right, I was thinking of the still alive people. But yeah, not so many old dead women philosophers. -
@PhilosophyExp@JeanKazez@boodleoops Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Judith Jarvis Thomson, Nussbaum. Interestingly, all in the ethics biz.
