Wow! I think a lot less of UofC knowing that the school has hired Leiter.

Why? He is the most powerful person in philosophy today. He has singlehandedly made philosophy of mind more important and improved continental v. analytical philosophy. Analytical always seems like a bit of a circle jerk to me anyways. Wittgenstein is great and all, but I mean really, where do you end up?

It will probably improve Chicago's ranking though.

Yeah, but who will take Chicago's rise seriously? Nobody who is using Leiter's philosophy rankings to actually pick a grad school.
