Lorenz Puntel, he approaches Marion and Heidegger’s work on being and relates it to God, he systemizes analytic philosophy into one coherent system and uses phenomenology/German idealism to glue it a little closer together.

Nicholas rescher is one of the biggest brain men alive, he has published books on many authors, his own interpretations and so forth. Whether it’s Arabic logic or the philosophy of Nicholai Hartman or the like he’s done it. His own work explores and harmonizes the works of so many men it’s ridiculous, I’m particularly fond of his articles in phenomenological journals. If I had to give him a primary concern it’s the question of Aporia, what is the theoretical point where philosophizing, reason and science must necessarily break down, in order to learn the limits of our knowledge.

They’re both not very aesthetic nor are they edgy but they do very important work and systemization and theory. Another very important philosopher who I’ve never read another on here speak of is Edward Zalta who edits the Stanford philosophy encyclopedia, his work is primarily advancing of meinongian ideas in a broader continental/analytic framework and the fun part, his group fixates on the usage of AI/computation for metaphysics and ontology, and they’ve actually had a good deal of success. The idea being to train AI to solve and do philosophy as a whole. This is enabled largely by his meinongian approach.

Here’s stuff from his group http://mally.stanford.edu/cm/

Here’s his major work
