Kemp's Top Ten Thinkers

Last spring, I asked Fred who he thought the top ten thinkers were. I just wanted to know because Geertz and Lanham are mind-blowing. I figured, if FK dropped those bombs in my lap, I'd be happy to encounter a few more.

Here's the list he shared with me:

Besides Geertz and Lanham, I would include Seymour Papert (Mindstorms), Nicholas Negroponte (Being Digital), Ilya Prigogene (The End of Certainty), Jerome Bruner (Actual Minds, Possible Worlds), Richard Rorty (Philosophy and the Mirror of a Nature), Thomas Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions), Wayne Booth (The Rhetoric of Rhetoric), and Katherine Hayles (Writing Machines).

I'm posting it here because I keep going back to this and am afraid I'll lose track.
