    Obviously "So-Crates" because he was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

    Plato/Socrates. Besides the fact that I see my own natural bent towards sarcasm reflected in their writings (:wink:), I appreciate the fact that so much of their writing is based around asking questions. This reflects my own view that truth is found through questioning the established social order.

    I choose ten that I though most people would know. and Nietzsche would have never made the list, God is not dead. However, I respect your opinion. :slight_smile:

    A fallacy in your first work! It is logically impossible to eat plenty of Baconators and live a healthy lifestyle.

    Thanks Mirko :slight_smile: Kant is by far my favourite philosopher (as some of you could have guessed reading my signature :icon_wink).
    Why ? Because of the categorical imperative first, because he is the one who have failed St Anselm proof of God existence and because someone who have missed his everyday walk because he was reading Rousseau can't be entirely bad :wink:
