fedrick901: Hume's teachers were scared of coming to class because of his uncommon intellect. He challenged their reasoning and left them with so much to think about. Another philosopher with uncommon intelligence was John Locke who was in a class of his own. 1 Like |

Socrates isn't up there? Are u kidding me? What of Rene Descartes? Ludwig Wittgenstein ahead of David Hume. I'm not impressed with ur compilation. I studied philosophy. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Scandinavian02:He never had because he believed philosophy should be learned and not studied. One should have all the tenets by heart and not carry books. He taught aptly without books. He is the greatest! 5 Likes |

Nice one and well written. But you should have included Socrates if you are a true student of philosophy. He is one of the greatest too. |

If you are a kid i would have spanked you for negating the nerativ of philosophy lol.you can't build something on nothing bro.you mentioned children without naming their father as regards the decipline philosophy. Without socrates the history and development of philosophy would be shallow.his life and and most especially his death was philosophical.his teaching shaped the minds of a lot of philosopher's.his quote "an unexamined mind is not worth living" is one of the greatest quote I have come across in life.just take your time and reflect on the quote and you will realise that he said it all.he was credited as one of the founders of western philosophy.his main intrest cuts across epistemology and ethics. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

The Europeans or Greeks can go to hell. Everything they knew was copied from ancient Egyptians. They're not the father of this or the first in that. The great Imhoptep, whom Greeks equated with the demi-god of healing Asclepius and was even worshipped. His profound knowledge of impact was so great, it could not measured with anyone. However, they're other great ancient Egyptians philosophers named.. Ptahhotep, and Amenhotep. 4 Likes |

Scandinavian02: Mtcheew. Most philosophers abi few malcontents like you. Plato that you are giving it to was one of his disciples, and he wrote alot about what we know of the great man Socrates. Socrates always considered himself as someone who knew nothing, maybe that was why he didn't pen anything down. Other great philosophers like Buddha, Confucious didn't write anything, their disciples wrote alot of things we know about them and their teachings. Jesus Christ didn't write anything but all account we know about him were from his disciples. Should that now diminish his status? 12 Likes |

Socrates, I'm surprised he isn't on the list. Socrates was the teacher of Plato and plato was the teacher of Aristotle then Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander the great(not a philosopher). If not for Socrates, thier wouldn't be nothing like education this is why is he regarded as the wisest and most educated man that ever lived on earth. 4 Likes 1 Share |
