John Rawls is the biggest modern one accepted by the establishment as a capital P Philosopher, but someone like Thoreau has had more impact on civilization, even if they were just a writer/essayist.

I say Pierce was greater than Thoreau to be honest

Pierce is the father of Pragmatism, which is really the only original American philosophical system

I'm a fan of Richard McKeon, myself, but few people take him as seriously as they should, probably due to PIrsig's libelous portrayal of him.

The triad of American Pragmatists(Peirce, James, Dewey), then you get later on where really only the dead can reign. My favorite is Richard Rorty.
