    You can vote if you wish. Go to the site. It is self-explanatory.

    Socrates. A 70 year old who gets condemned for corrupting the youth, what a genius.

    WOW, Except for Epicurus and Wittgenstein, this is the exact same poll I made in the .org. Some people(the smartasses) didn't think it had the one's they liked though. Well, soooooorrrrrryyyy.

    I do not worry myself with such things as being "out of the box" as much as most people. I only care about what I think works for me(in terms of philosophy), everything else is meaningless to me.

    The person who wrote that doesn't know how to spell mathematics.

    I don't see any results published yet Pindar so how do you know Marx is doing so well? Anyway he would be a very deserving winner if he did win. I voted for Sartre, clearly the most inspirational and ground breaking there for the 20th century at least.

    I ace'd a philosophy exam on Hume on Friday so maybe I should place a vote for him out of sincere gratitude, but nah, why bother. ;p
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
    Jean Paul Sartre - No Exit 1944
