Question: Who is your favourite philosopher !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Diogenes!.

Lived in a tub, fixed the crack in it with mud, lived on onions, , wandered the streets during the day with a lamp 'to seek out an honest man', when chastised for ma*****ating said "if ony one could cure hunger by rubbing one's stomach"!. Often said to have had the following conversation with Alexander the Great (though this is not possible) Alexander - Is there anything I can do for you!? Diogenes "Stand not between me and the sun!"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Walter Paget!. ( 9 yr old acknowledged child genius)!.

Cambridge University now recognise Pagetism as one of the most fundamentally sound outlooks of the decade!.

Currently residing in St Andrews Child and Adolescent Unit, Walter is addressing issues such as a tendency to pyromania, and is visited daily by academics the world over!.

Walter has written a thesis on Sartre which is at doctorate level, but does not wish his beliefs to be broadcasted on Yahoo Questions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Immanuel Kant!.

For his ethics, because his incredibly clever argument made me think that morals really might be objective!.

For the stuff in his Critique of Pure Reason because the points he makes are crucial to much of modern philosophy of mind and cognitive science!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sir isac newton, who considered god "the divine clockmaker"

while my belif in a supream being is shakey at best, the thought behind this theory, and the fact that he was actualy able to support it with the sceinces is, for me, very impressiveWww@QuestionHome@Com

Sophocles!. His words are often short yet wise!.

"There is no happiness where there is no wisdom;
No wisdom but in submission to the gods!.
Big words are always punished,
And proud men in old age learn to be wise!."
- "Antigone"Www@QuestionHome@Com
