I don't know. Possibly the worst philosophers have the greatest imaginations. I am not so certain philosophers in general need super human brains; I think a normal human brain would suffice for a philosophers needs, but a brain in its self does not furnish its own content. If you are talking about picture thought processing, I would suggest Tesla (or is it Telsa) or other inventors for new mechanisms; the demand for picture thinking is quite high for that as it is for chemistry and biochemistry, particularly in genetic chemistry. Albert Einstein would need a good imagination for subatomic particle theory. Or the Oracle of Delphi who told Socrates he would be the wisest (or something like); would not that prediction require much imagination prophetic.

For me, I'd go with Hilary Putnam, at least among modern philosophers. He covered quite a range of thought over the course of his lifetime, unlike many modern philosophers who come up with a single approach and spend the rest of their life developing on it.
