If you classify western philosophers by what they led with, I think it is: Epistemology-first: Spinoza, Descartes, Hume, Kant Ontology-first: Hegel, Marx, Heidegger Phenomenology-first: Nietzche, Husserl, Arendt Treating these as stocks I think E is down, O is up, P is up a lot

I've made my peace with the fact that readers who are better read and informed than I am around my own writings will likely want to juxtapose and connect and critique in specific traditions, but that's their homework if they want it.

Naturally this means there are people who dismiss me out of hand because something I said, when seen in the context of what they think they know from some tradition I'm unaware of, completely invalidates, undermines, supersedes what I said. That's blogosphere risk.
