I guess Thatcherism has reached its halflife. One should not underestimate the influence of the communist lecturers in Oxford and Cambridge.

Melvyn Bragg. Gawd. You used to be able to find piles of his books in Soviet bookstores.

Greatest ever philosopher?
Do Socrates, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, or Hume ring any bells?
They've got to be joking...

If they are going to go with an economist, how do they not go a little closer to home-Adam Smith ? WTH?
IIRC, when Churchill lost his election, parliment broke into a chorus singing some commie anthem.

All this means is that the most vocal listeners of "Melvyn Bragg's Radio 4 show In Our Time" are primarily socialists.
Guys, if you had a poll of Air America's listeners, don't you think it would be the same result?

"Marxists organised a mass vote; they're much more organised than Hegelians, for instance."
Or Republicans or "The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" (I and we should be so lucky as to be so organized or vociferous).

...good job on the anti-American, socialist, mad, sacred cow. 30,000 votes is quite a sampling.

"One should not underestimate the influence of the communist lecturers in Oxford and Cambridge."
The "intellectuals" always make the mistake of thinking that they won't be murdered once they help convert a country to communism/marxism. They are generally the first ones to be lined up against a wall.

So I'm guessing
Melvyn Bragg's Radio 4 show is probably Britain's version of Airhead Amerika.
What credence would you give a poll taken of the airhead listeners to DeadAir Amerika???
I rest my case.
Nothing here. Time to move on (no pun intended) ...

The Guardian is leftist, even for Britain, isn't it? You can tell Bragg is a lefty, he has too much hair...and it's nicly coiffed .

The best of the British philosophers was probably
John Locke. He certainly had a major influence on our Founders. Amazing that the Brits seem to have forgotten him.

And now for something completely different.
Courtesy of the University of Australia philosophy department.
Immanual Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out consume Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed A lovely little thinker But a bugger when he's pissed

Marx was a third-rate hack, even by the standards of the humanities and social sciences. He was an intellectual lightweight by any measure.
