David Marr is amazing. I remember being completely awed by Vision. I think more than any other author, Marr showed that cognition could be made computationally tractable (focus on vision, but before him it was just a mess). I don't know that there's much here to discuss though. His work has been supersceded in just the way any researcher would want.
