Who Are Your Favorite Philosophers?

[nismaratwork]

I'm not sure I'd call Noam Chomsky a philosopher. But I do admire his scholarship and perserverance and have learned much from him. Ditto nismaratwork. Also Apeiron, kote, StatutoryApe (I hope I got that right) and 'many' others, whose usernames I don't recall, certainly many of the mentors and science advisors, here at PF.

As for Leo Buscaglia. I saw/heard him speak about 40 years ago. All I remember is that he hugged a lot of people at the end of his talk.

Richard von Mises was influential in my early thinking.

She included me, so presumably it's a demonstration of her excellent sense of humor. Then again, Noam Chomsly's scholarship and dedication have a definite philosophical air about them.

OH... Ambrose Bierce.
