1. Benedict de Spinoza
2. Martin Heidegger
3. St. Augustine
4. St. Thomas Aquinas
5. Plato

I'm shocked Descartes got so low on my list. I haven't read any Spinoza, and heard very little on Heidegger.

Aparently, I should be catholic. Lol. Not at all, intended for "slam", just funny.
I was wondering when somebody would get Sartre. Do you believe existence precedes essence? That would be the most obvious one to trigger it.

Edit: Taking it again, only a couple of mine have changed. I now have William James, and Aristotle has retreated from my top 5.

#1 is: St. Thomas Aquinas
My #2 is: William of Ockham
My #3 is: William James
My #4 is: St. Augustine
My #5 is: Benedict de Spinoza
