Another vote for David Hume.
Anyone who makes me think. I love to think about things in ways I never have before.
Anyone who is not an over-publicised, middle-aged male… we’re all thinkers.
Nietzsche
Camus
Kierkegaard
Kafka
Descartes, not so much because I agree with his philosophy, but because of the mental leaps he was able to make that ultimately ushered in the modern era of philosophy. Socrates was pretty badass as well.
As far as a recent philosopher whose ideas I really like, I would have to go with John Rawls.
Homer
Kafka
A third vote for David Hume
and my dear sweet Mommy.
@gorillapaws: Here’s my Déscartes joke (which I love):
Déscartes was asked whether he wanted fries with his hamburger. “I think not,” he said, and instantly vanished.
Oscar Wilde
Mahatma Gandhi
Nikola Tesla
Oh boy…
Nietzsche
Schopenhauer
Hesse (these first three tie for first)
Tolstoy
Aristotle
Luo Guanzhong
Li Bai…
and the list goes on
