Greatest Philosopher Poll

[altariel]

In Our Time is running a poll to discover who the nation (or, at least, the section that listens to Radio 4) thinks is the Greatest Philosopher Ever. Julian Baggini put a persuasive case for David Hume, but I voted for John Stuart Mill, because some stupid people recently said he was harmful, and also because so far as I know he was the only one on the list to write about women. Also, half a pint of shandy would make me feel ill too.
