I would argue that Derrida is as important as Wittgenstein, but also a great deal more obscure - arguably, the most obscure philosopher since Hegel.

Kant's metaphysical leap troubles me, but I can't fault his aesthetics (third critique). Then again, I've pretty much settled on Kant's aesthetics because visual art isn't a large concern of mine, rather than it 'connecting with my innermost soul'.

I've not read enough Einstein, but I do agree he's often neglected within philosophy. Then again, I am in Britain, and the British are still getting excited about the analytics, who, as a group, are probably the dullest thing in the whole of history.

I'm going to re-read the Lacan Wiki, last I remember it was written by an American, and Americans don't have Lacan (or Freud, for that matter) anything like right.
