Two Ws of Epistemology

Today I have devoted some time to reading this http://www.helsinki.fi/~tuschano/writings/strange/
I had often wondered why ordinary language philosophy (OLP) had disappeared. Apparently it was to some extent due to this twit Gellner. I have for some time admired the work of Gilbert Ryle. I was, and of course still am, intrigued and confused by Wittgenstein. Peter Strawson has, for me, been outshone by his son, but his work still delights me. What has happened to the legacy of these careful writers? I think I shall study this matter more closely. It seems to me that there is considerable consonance between the approach of the OLP philosophers and my philosophical hero W.V.O.Quine.
