Basically from Thales to Parmenides are Pre-socratic philosophers that talk about the elements as the universal truth. Sokrates, Plato, and Aristotle say that virtues are the universal truth and moderation. Rene Descartes - I Think Therefore I am (Reason). David Hume - Empiricism. Thomas Hobbs - the State of Nature. Russeau - The General Will (inspired the French Revolution). Nietzscher - The Will To Power. |

Pronounced "caunt". When my teacher quoted him everyone in class asked who she quoted and she said "Kant said that". I thought she said the other thing, which is fine 'cus she's a hot teacher. |

My philosophy class just started a few weeks ago, so I couldn't choose based on their theories themselves. No panic though, I found other reasons. I went for Anaxagoras, because I think I recall he was the first agnostic. Thank God for agnostics! Could be wrong on him, though. Second choice: Kierkegaard. His name keeps coming up in discussions on existentialism, and that's the hippest philosophical theory, because it allows you to wear black turtleneck sweaters and be brooding, but still have a valid reason to do so: you're philosophical and deep! Also, his hair reminds me of that of Roger Daltrey on the 'Then and Now' album cover. Last (and least): Rousseau! Because he was a hypocrite. He came up with all these theories on education, but sent all of his own children to an orphanage or something. Hypocrisy's where it's at. |

I think Hobbes Social Contract theory is interesting, "The Leviathan" is an interesting read and is good to compare with Milton's "The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates". Anyway in light of the topic... The Philosophers song by Monty Python Immanual Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table David Hume could out consume Schopenhauer and Hegel And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed John Stuart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill Plato they say, could stick it away Half a crate of whiskey every day Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart "I drink, therefore I am" Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed A lovely little thinker But a bugger when he's pissed |

Nietzsche Marx I couldn't choose a third, so I voted for the Scottish Cappie. I'm also enraged at the fact that there is no Ayn Rand in this poll! |
