What about the ï̤n̤̈ẗ̤ë̤l̤̈l̤̈ë̤c̤̈ẗ̤ṳ̈ä̤l̤̈ d̤̈ä̤r̤̈k̤̈ ẅ̤ë̤b̤̈? You are deliberately missing the greatest class of philosopher as you are afraid of being d̤̈ë̤s̤̈ẗ̤r̤̈ö̤ÿ̤ë̤d̤̈ by l̤̈ö̤g̤̈ï̤c̤̈ and f̤̈ä̤c̤̈ẗ̤s̤̈ and l̤̈ö̤b̤̈s̤̈ẗ̤ë̤r̤̈s̤̈
Philosophers generally fall into five categories: 1. System builders. 2. Puzzle solvers. 3. Skeptics. 4. Cultural critics. 5. Old white dudes who came up with one vaguely clever thought experiment in the 70s, and have been milking it ever since.

It made me think of Edmund Gettier immediately, although that paper was in '63. I think he almost literally didn't produce anything since though.

Good philosophers fit more than one category. Examples: Socrates: 1-3. Nietzsche: 1, 3, 4. Logical positivists: all 5.
