This was from the largest survey ever taken.

It’s too bad the survey’s sample group wasn’t more international. The preponderance of Anglophone philosophers working within the analytic tradition was bound to skew the results. In fairness, the article points that out. But I would be quite interested to see results that included responses from philosophers working throughout the world.
The correlations noted toward the end were interesting and reveal what could be seen as professional biases and blind spots.
Thanks for the link, Simon Moon.
