"Roderick Milton Chisholm is widely regarded as one of the most creative, productive, and influential American philosophers of the 20th Century. Chisholm worked in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and other areas. His work constitutes a grand philosophical system somewhat in the manner of Leibniz or Descartes. Chisholm continually refined - and sometimes utterly revised - his views." (SEP).

Willard Van Orman Quine was an American philosopher who in a Leiter-poll made by philosophers was rated as the fifth most important philosopher in the last two centuries only superseded by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell and John Stuart Mill.
