Terry, 
What would you do with Kwame Anthony Appiah, who has done books in
mainstream philosophy (Anglo-American analytical logic tradition started
pretty much by Wittgenstein), but who has become a multidisciplinary thinker
who is cited more often by people in literature and poco theory than by
philosophers? And do you accept Rorty in the contemporary field, even if you
subtract a point for mentions of Derrida? Lisa
