[UPDATE JUNE 20: there has been some cleaning up of the data, so the exact numbers reported below have changed a bit, but the overall pattern has not.--ES]
On the (ahum) dominance of David Lewis, and the relative lack of citations of women, here.
The Healy 500 data are raw-citations (not co-citations) in the Healy Four.
First, I stand corrected; the data suggest that Abe Stone was right because analytical philosophy has generated and recognized (via citations) a systematic philosopher: David Lewis.
Second, eighteen out of five hundred items in the Healy-500 are by women (3.6%) [UPDATED to REFLECT ADJUSTMENTS in HEALY's DATA.]
Thirteen women have made it in the Healy-500. I am guessing that there are about 300 philosophers listed in the Healy 500. Again, Marcus, Thomson, Kamm, Wilson (neither Margaret nor Catherine), Wolff, Diamond, Anderson, Gilbert, Raffman, are not in *this* list.
