He's absolutely right. This thread is really just a competition between Greece and Germany. There isn't a whole lot of competition.

I agree, but something I wonder, was it autism?

Hegel posited that German was uniquely suited to expressing philosophy. Hegel also thought the Prussian state was like literally the will of god or something so there's probably an agenda behind saying that. Still, he might have a point. If language does indeed influence thought then it might not be a coincidence.

Germany, France, or Greece are the only real contenders.
Id say Germany takes it because autism has won out over existentialism.

it may be for the same reason that all european royal houses have at least some german ancestry.

the political disunity of the german lands with many small states led to many small courts of dukes and counts etc. More courts means more rulers who can patronize philosophers and more nobles who have the leisure and the privileged surroundings necessary to become philosophers.

then maybe after unification the tradition was simply continued on the foundations of previous work.

But even within existentialism the Germans have quite a bit of influence. Really, what can these people not do (in philosophy)?

The autistic brand of philosophy so common in the anglo world, while again having significant German contribution, is still most popular in English speaking countries. On the continent proper they have a more balanced curriculum.
