	There should definitely be alternate spellings for Muhammad. Muhammed and Mohammed are quite common.

	For the British Invasion, I entered in William the Conqueror...then suddenly laughed at myself, and put the Beatles.

	Funny, I also first entered William the Conqueror! I agree on alternate spellings for Muhammad. I tried several spellings. Glad to see that Kierkegaard was acceptable for existentialism.

	@chrisfk Nazism was called National Socialism. Check your facts before you start criticizing.

	@Azrael: I did the same thing. I put in William I and then William the Conquerer, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. @jforce101: You do know that Sigmund Freud and Walt Whitman had first names, don't you?

	Pretty good, but a bit oversimplified. For example, Karl Harrer started the German Worker's Party that became the Nazi Party

	I agree you should accept alternate spellings of Mohammed

	you sure about grandmaster flash? How about DJ Kool Herc?

	SoSoSmart:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 00:31 GMT		1 point
	grandmaster flash is not the right answer.

	my bad, i had herc as an answer so im not sure why it doesnt work. ill have it fixed. along with the alternate spellings of mohammed.

	Einstein for modern physics? Uh, how about Isaac Newton instead?

	moominpaul:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 20:31 GMT		1 point
	i think he means quantum physics rather then classical physics (which newton was part of that school i believe) - not sure been a while since i studied physics.

	einstein is considered the father or modern physics (i.e. quantum physics, relativity)

	I will never spell Nietzche correctly for a quiz. It will never happen, no matter how many times I try.

	Abdul-Jabbar should also be acceptable without the -

	Max Planck might have something to say about Einstein being the father of quantum mechanics as he published his papers in 1900. Einstein's photoelectric effect wasn't until 1905 and made heavy use of Planck's work

	Did Nietzsche not have a first name?

	mbc:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 09:53 GMT		1 point
	The first Western philosopher was Thales. Socrates was an innovator of course, but there was plenty of Western philosophy before him. It's called 'presocratic philosophy' and includes people like Parmenides, Empedocles, Zeno (the one with the paradoxes) Heraclitus, Pythagoras, and Thales.

	Should accept DJ Kool Herc or just Kool Herc.

	Why change a response of "Kierkegaard" to "Nietzsche" when Kierkegaard is widely acknowledged to have predated Nietzsche with regards to existentialism?

	plusgoodmusicq:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 22:37 GMT		1 point
	If we want to quibble about who innovated existentialism, it would most likely technically be someone like Sophocles or another Greek playwright, as the motifs popularized in both Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are also prevalent in ancient Greek plays. That being said, I think either Nietzsche or Kierkegaard should be acceptable for modernity (even though I'm terribly partial to Nietzsche myself).

	I think Socrates is fine. Everyone was influenced by other people (Marx was influenced by Hegel and Feuerbach, for example). But the people on this quiz are seen to be the people who first pull together the ideas into a comprehensive theory. Socrates moved philosophy into what we would recognise it as more today.

	William the Conqueror? Don't be silly, he only invaded England! British Invasion was the Romans. Also, perhaps if when I type in 'Plato' (often called the father of western philosophy), instead of it coming up with 'Socrates', it should come up with Plato/Socrates, otherwise it just seems that Plato is another name for Socrates. And according to Wikipedia, Walt Whitman didn't invent free verse poetry. Probably quite a few of these are contentious, in fact.

	Haha, 14 year old kid trying to lecture everyone on Hitler, then getting it horribly wrong. Pretentious little twat.
