I always had the impression that the US education system was much broader than in the UK and that kids graduating from high school could quote James and Peirce! But what about Dan Dennett and John Searle - they are seen as the pop stars of philosophy this side of the pond - always good entertainment, (but probably not at the same time). Douglas Hofstadter, George Lakoff? Are they not well known over there?
