| I know the quiz just reflects the source, but it is a bad list. The absence of Aristotle is simply indefensible, and Locke, Lebniz and Spinoza have a better claim than many on the list, like Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Hegel and Husserl. This is because these latter philosophers have influenced mostly the Continental traditions (existentialism, structuralism and poststructuralism) but left mostly unaffected the Anglo-American traditions (neopositivism, linguistic philosophy, pragmatism...) which would name people like Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein instead of them. The earlier philosophers I listed are still relevant to both recent traditions and so have a more solid claim to greatness. |
