Too many of the other thinkers are also peripheral to philosophy like Smith and Jung. If they are allowed why not Newton or Darwin, both of whom have certainly had a much greater influence than Jung? If they can appear why not Shakespeare, Chekov, Keats, Bach, Stravinsky or Picasso? Strangely Hume appears twice (on both occasions shockingly under-valued for such an influential philosopher). Not a credible list.Mr Jaffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798466768346497024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181616371521138814.post-17735850287828564212012-06-23T14:58:16.891-07:002012-06-23T14:58:16.891-07:00Surprised to see that Carl von Clausewitz is omitt...Surprised to see that Carl von Clausewitz is omitted.

They may not be very influential compared to religious prophets, but they (with the exception of Berkeley) really did start the study of metaphysics beyond religion and the supernatural. Religious prophets use gods just because they can't explain certain things beyond their range of reason. But Kant, Hume, and their peers taught us that EVERYTHING, including what is beyond physical nature, can be defined by logic alone. The limitations of perception, the lack of empirical evidence for the supernatural, etc. disprove the religious doctrines of their predecessors. They are not influential because ignorant laity are consumed by simple religious propaganda rather than the pursuit of total metaphysical knowledge.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097778869909045385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181616371521138814.post-91597316520837522132010-06-05T19:07:45.043-07:002010-06-05T19:07:45.043-07:00hi leibniz was the greatest thinker of all time ...hi leibniz was the greatest thinker of all time . he had the first idea of virtual reality and was a genius in 13 fields and his idea of monads and awareness are genius. his idea of the best of all possible worlds is perfect as well. becasue we are headed with infinite time to a total understanding of the unioverse. All knowledge is already in ther universe. we only discover what is already known. <br /><br />Awareness is the key to life and we should all pay attention. we all come from the same source and therefore we should all love one another and quit thinking that other people are the ¨other¨ and therefore bad. His ideas have clearly lead me to believe that limited government where individucal are free to choose but shoud take the responsibility of their actions is the greatest sociopl structure. <br /><br />there are two things human want and that is to be able to freely express themselves and make connections to others in this world. <br /><br />leibniz idea of the best of all possible worlds is correct because based on how we think and what we do with that knowledge determines whether we will be happy or suffer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507327314041269481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181616371521138814.post-14426212973426537462010-05-27T20:00:25.057-07:002010-05-27T20:00:25.057-07:00i like the list! you might want to check #46 and ...i like the list! you might want to check #46 and #27, though..Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343964282835680722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181616371521138814.post-25932345608406090412009-10-29T10:46:09.491-07:002009-10-29T10:46:09.491-07:00These are not my words ,check it if you want!
