    Slavoj is one of the more outwardly honest philosophers.

    Would add Peter Sloterdijk (as a successor to Martin Heidegger);

    David Oderberg and Simon Blackburn for ethics;

    John McDowell, John Searle, Henry Stapp, and David Chalmers for philosophy of mind; and

    John Haldane, Alvin Plantinga, and William Lane Craig for philosophy of religion.

    Overall, no, and he'd be the first to say so. There are about a dozen others that rank right up there with him, and each specializes in a specific branch of philosophy. I'd say the greatest all-around philosopher is the Dalai Lama.
