philosophy, England and America, remained under the sway of often narrow minded, highly gifted sometimes idiot savant, often Asperger Syndrome, usually doctrinaire, logico, mathematico, scientistic, ordinary language, grammatico, narcissistic, specialists and pundits, many Vienna Circle, etc., like Frege, Austin, Godel, Waismann, Hempel, Russell, Wittgenstein, Wisdom, Turing, Skinner, Schlick, Ayer, Strawson, Rhees, Anscombe, Malcolm, Quine, Carnap, von Mises, Reichenbach, Feigl, Kripke, and a number of others, long list. Many of the circle came to teach here when the Nazis took power....

Gellner sent some of this stuff up rather well, back in the day, expecially ordinary language philosophy. He was, however, a multiculturalist, a creed I heartily detest, but we can't all be perfect.
