/lit/ - Literature

You're making some pretty major assumptions here, OP
First, you're assuming that anyone on /lit/ has actually read Feser. Second, you're assuming that anyone on here who has read Feser is capable of forming any sort of critical conception of what they read. Third, you're assuming that anyone here who has read Feser and who has understood it to some degree will possess enough cognitive prowess to mount a critique of his writings.
Sadly, the only people on here you're going to get are people who skimmed his wikipedia page (or rationalwiki page, more likely) and then spout buzzword chocked non-sentiments. So you're thread will most likely die with under ten replies.
I agree that he is mostly in it for the publicity and money and polemics is how you drum those things up, however, he's a decent intro to some exceptionally complex scholastic thought. The issue becomes when people start citing him as a definitive authority on Thomism (like that dilettante Jay Dyer).
I think his level of celebrity speaks more to the drought of contemporary theologians more than anything. I'm still looking for some good ones myself.
