Eugene asked:

Is Eric Voegelin, who was severely critical of modern philosophy, especially what he called its
"deformation" From Descartes to Hegel, considered or recognized as a philosopher by modern
philosophers?

===========

Since I am not a landlord I am quite liberal with the application of the the term philosopher. For the
most part, so far as I am concerned, anyone who calls himself (herself) a philosopher is one. Of
course, whether think someone who calls himself a philosopher is a good philosopher is a different
issue. It is a little analogous to a person who is moving on a dance floor and says he is dancing. I am
willing to allow that person is dancing, whatever he does, but whether he is a good dancer is quite a
different matter.

You may really be asking whether Eric Voegelin is well-known to other philosophers. I think the
answer to that is, no.
