everyone can say and plato and socrates cause they founded the basis for the philosophers for years to come... however from what i remember from philosophy last semester... the classes in which we discussed kant,kierkegard, and hegel left me wandering out of the class going "whoa" everytime... i had a great professor
nietzche also proposes some very interesting ideas, however i still dont think i fully understand his philosopy... i want to read a few of his books at some point but i havent had time recently

Although he was not a philosopher, i think don Juan Matus would be my favourite one. His teachings have a very deep wisdom, greater than any other philosopher i did read (several ones, btw)... for me he is almost comparable to the King Solomon, who was not a philosopher either, and yet was one of the wisest men that lived.

Lol Berkeley and his Idealism, he certainly is quite a character.

Ancient ~ Epicurus
Modern ~ Marx

Anyone interested in philosophy should check out Ayn Rand, founder of Objectivism.

Socrates. Nietzche...although, I agree he is hard to understand.
A certain homeless guy at my nearest train station. He's always there trying to pinpont the single moment where his life went wrong. If you actually talk to him long enough (I tend to get chatty when I am intoxicated), he's not as crazy as you'd think he'd be. Kinda scary, cause I've definitely been in related situations or made similar choices.
Carl Sagan is the shiz.

I know of some but I've not read much or even any of their work. Anyone who questions what they are told as fact is a philosopher to me.

My favorite idea spinner for this second would be
Rene Schwaller De Lubicz.
Check out Nature Word or Symbol and the Symbolic. Egyptian
based ideas that I found pretty darn interesting!
Those bookworms in the forum may want to tackle Temple of Man . You may be able to pick one up for 120.00 or so. 1000
pages of Schwaller's findings after spending 15 years living in
the Temple of Luxor in Egypt.
He decided to go to the source and investigate for himself rather than sit back in europe reading books on the subject.
Crazy Fucker, I love his shit, not just Archeological but all-encompassing.

I really enjoy camus and his idea that the only question in life is whether or not to kill yourself. His ideas and reasoning are really really interesting and he has probably made me think more than other philosophers out there.
There are many more philosophers I like, such as Spinoza, Foucault, and Socrates, but there are also some I don't like and find boring, like Locke.

Albert Camus.
I think I'll just go and change my sig to one of his quotes, I have used it on here before but it will always be relevant.
